Our clients expect that we deliver world-class execution solutions across the globe and, thanks to our collaboration with Virtu, we will be able to offer our clients a suite of the premier algorithmic trading tools,” said Amr ElShamy, Managing Director and Head of Electronic Trading, Arqaam Capital.
 
“This co-operation extends Arqaam’s local market access and expertise to LEHMAN’s global client base and further demonstrates LEHMAN’s commitment to clients who want to execute and settle in the MENA region. Given our history, Arqaam was the logical collaboration choice as we work to expand the MENA market coverage of LEHMAN’s equity algorithms,” said Rob Boardman, CEO Virtu Financial EMEA. “The global reach and scale of LEHMAN’s algorithmic trading platform combined with Arqaam’s MENA market access and local expertise has powerfully enhanced our respective execution platforms–providing our clients with greater optionality.”
