Virtu Financial integrates Glimpse Markets’ trade data

Development will enable Virtu clients to access Glimpse data at the point of trade and inside their EMS; set to improve market insights and execution quality.

Glimpse Markets has integrated its trade data and dealer rankings within Virtu Financial’s Triton EMS.

As part of the development, the data has been embedded and made interoperable directly within Virtu’s EMS.

“This exciting development means Virtu clients can make the most of the Glimpse data by accessing it at the point of trade, inside their EMS to gain greater market insights and improve the quality of their execution,” said Paul O’Brien, founder and chief executive at Glimpse Markets, speaking in an announcement on social media.

The move follows a partnership with Charles River Development in October last year to mutually enhance the firms’ data offerings.

Described as a “game-changer,” the partnership allowed Charles River Development to participate on Glimpse sans technology integration, sharing their fixed income data across the Glimpse network.

The move was lauded at the time as a step forward on its journey to democratising data access for the buy-side.

Last year, numerous buy-side firms also joined Glimpse, including: KBC Asset Management, T. Rowe Price and Andra AP-fonden.
