HOW We help Clients

Talent Acquisition

Launching a Strategic Initiative

A global proprietary trading firm was in growth mode and wanted to source an experienced team lead to build out a new trading desk. Bandon was able to deliver a uniquely-talented industry veteran, and one who was a perfect fit for the firm's core values and culture.

Launching a Strategic Initiative

A global, multi-asset class proprietary trading firm was contemplating launching a new business line, but needed guidance as to how to proceed and with whom to potentially partner. Bandon helped them with the approach and brokered introductions to the best potential partners.

Inorganic Growth

Launching a Strategic Initiative

Accessing New Markets

An established proprietary trading firm had an appetite to acquire smaller firms with a solid track record and the right approach, but ones that could benefit from additional capital, better technology and better rates. Bandon was able to source several compelling opportunities across regions.

Accessing New Markets

An EMEA-based firm wanted to access the US markets in multiple asset classes, but needed to better understand the ecosystem, where to clear their business and which trading venues to access first. Bandon helped them navigate the landscape and build a comprehensive plan of entry.

Client Acquisition

Accessing New Markets

Client Acquisition

A US-based fintech shop had a great product, but needed help getting in front of the right prospects to expand their revenue base. Bandon was able to work with them to establish the TAM, map out the best targets to approach and facilitate introductions to new customers of their platform.

Market Modeling

Accessing New Markets

Client Acquisition

A US-based ATS wanted to optimize their market model, ensuring they were providing the right order types, optimal counterparty segmentation and appropriate pricing to ensure the best mix of liquidity in their order book. Bandon was able to share best practices on all fronts to help them grow.
