Our product offering is based on two core drivers ...what we’re good at and what our customers need. At one time in our history we owned a successful trading business.
We were good at it, but we made the strategic decision to focus on making software to support trading to the extreme levels of performance we knew were crucial.
So that’s what we sell ...extreme trading performance.
Traders need extreme performance in three areas...
Speed ...“intelligent” speed …the ability to beat other traders to the best deals
Usability ...the ability to trade more easily ...the flexibility to do it your way
Reliability ...if you can’t trade you don’t make money, so you need software that doesn’t fall over and support that’s right there when you need it
Three products meet these criteria:
Actant Quote ...our core quote engine for market-makers (formerly called AQTOR)
Actant Risk ...a risk management tool for market-makers and market-takers
Actant ExStream ...our new high performance programmable executions product for high frequency buy-side derivatives traders
