JPMORGAN SAYS ITS READY TO GO HEAD TO HEAD WITH TRADING ELITE

Frank Troise, managing director and global head of electronic trading, joined JPMorgan from Barclays Capital last April. He inherited an established electronic trading desk with a full palette of algorithms, smart-order router technology and post-trade analytics. Still, the brokerage firm needed to distinguish itself from the crowd to raise its profile. Troise went to work.


Since then, he's been adding staff across the board, as well as tweaking code and modifying routing logic to make JPMorgan more competitive. And finally, after 10 months, Troise believes the pieces are in place and the firm is ready to make a major push. TRADERS
