Instinet Incorporated

When Instinet gave birth to electronic trading in 1969, we were a small tech-focused start-up with a simple point of view: technology can bring great efficiency to the financial markets. No one had coined the term "fintech" yet, but that's exactly what we were. It's been our mission to remain at the forefront of advancements that shape the financial markets ever since. Today, as a part of The Nomura Group, Instinet's global agency model provides services that span the entire investment life cycle. Our goal is to help our institutional clients create, preserve, and capture alpha in a changing world. We operate with a "client-first" approach—one that's founded on robust and adaptive technology and has been enhanced by decades of experience fine-tuning our capabilities to a dynamic marketplace and the ever-evolving objectives of our clients. Instinet offers the institutional investment community a suite of tailorable solutions, including unique market insights and commentary, full-service trading desks, advanced algorithmic trading strategies, access to unique and specialized liquidity via our array of crossing pools, and a complement of award-winning workflow solutions. All engineered to help our clients efficiently manage their investment process, their way.
