Active Crossing Network
JonesTrading is a proactive, liquidity-sourcing network, designed for the sole purpose of seeking out liquidity—as opposed to just responding to orders in a database. The success of this Active Crossing Network (ACN) is evidenced by one of the industry’s highest crossing ratios.
Underpinning the JonesTrading platform is the collective experience of more than 80 traders—who maintain trusted relationships with over 1,000 top-tier clients. Working in a tight-knit affiliation of small offices located across the country, regional teams of Jones traders are managed by highly experienced branch managers. To achieve the highest level of communication and continuity, the firm assigns a single point of contact for each client to handle all aspects of each order. By painstakingly controlling the internal distributed network of relationships and eliminating the handoffs common to large centralized trading floors, the JonesTrading model assures clients that their intent will drive the trade from start to finish—without becoming lost or compromised.
This ACN provides clients a custom-tailored approach to each trade, the ability to access broad pools of liquidity, and a safe, anonymous environment necessary to move in and out of large blocks with minimal market impact. JonesTrading by design provides the shortest distance between buyer and seller, resulting in a natural path to best execution that sets the firm apart from other available trading avenues.
