TransMarket Group, LLC ("TMG") describes itself as a privately held global proprietary trading company. It was founded as Aardvark Financial Inc. in 1980. TMG began as a trader of futures locals and now trades most liquid financial products around the world. Rapid growth in the retail sector and institutional clients, as well as the diversification of the underlying markets, spurred the company to change its name in 1984 to the TransMarket Group ("TransMarket"). Over the years the company has committed significant resources to leverage technology as the foundation for executing customized trading strategies. This includes participation in the global exchange listed derivatives, equities, commodities, and selected cash markets. TMG maintains offices in several of the world’s financial centers designed to capitalize on a variety of trading opportunities in the global markets. TMG has 350 employees worldwide. Its staff is by no means limited to skilled professional traders, but also includes IT professionals, software developers, quantitative trade development staff, finance and operations, and administrative staff. At the beginning of this century TMG began a concerted effort to create advanced proprietary analytics and trade execution software to provide a competitive edge in the marketplace. Eventually this evolved into algorithm/systemic trading capabilities and strategies. That in turn necessitated enhancements of its global network, operating systems, and IT services for superior speed and reliability. TransMarket Group’s current mission is to provide a comprehensive suite of products and resources that enable its traders to maximize their potential. Traders receive access to a diverse array of international marketplaces, trading platforms, and informational resources. Its services include the provision of risk capital and market access to clients for the purpose of trading on the global financial markets. Traders and the global technology staff work together to enhance its systems and develop customized diverse trading opportunities across the world’s marketplaces. The company’s main website is best used as a contact point to begin exploring the sophisticated variety of services TMG offers to its clients.
