According to ADS, the London office becomes a regional base in targeting UK and European private and institutional clients. Similar to other regional offices, institutional customers of the London branch will have access to ADS Securities OREX Optim’s proprietary platform for their trading and liquidity needs.

Hi Ron, I was always curious how the retail volume figures were collated for the quaterlt review. Is it just down to a relationship of trust between you and the brokers giving the volume figures?
@Ron Clear and thanks.
