Sterling Trader clients utilizing the direct-access, order management tools of the Sterling Trader® Elite platform can leverage Sterling's instant access to an extensive community of global counterparties linked across the Sterling Trader® Broker Network.  The network connects multi-strategy algorithmic order engines, international equity and options brokers, and major exchanges in Europe, Canada, and the United States.

"Our network provides institutions the robust solutions they need to thrive in today's complex trading environments," said Steve Sierszulski, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sterling Trader, Inc.  "It's not enough to have direct access to the exchanges.  Firms want to seek out high-performance trading venues and they want to effectively manage order flow.  We facilitate multi-clearing and prime broker relationships and we give our clients the ability to route and receive order flow from any of the brokers and liquidity points on our network.  These are invaluable resources to the buy-side trader."

In addition to these services, the Sterling Trader® Broker Network supports multi-broker allocation tools, connectivity to dark pools and alternative trading systems, and comprehensive post-trade reporting.

"We are broker-neutral," said Mr. Sierszulski.  "That's a major advantage for our clients because we can route them wherever they need to go without conflict.  That means our network is open to limitless possibilities for our customers.  They can safely and securely manage every aspect of their trading business on the Sterling Trader® Broker Network."
