Quod Financial, a prominent global provider of technology solutions for trading across various assets, is enhancing its foothold in the US market.

The company is introducing a suite of innovative features designed specifically for US sell-sides. This move builds upon Quod Financial’s existing presence and reflects its dedication to delivering advanced trading solutions that cater to the distinct requirements of the US market.
