Three principals of Aegisoft, a trading technology firm acquired by Thomson Reuters in 2010, have announced their departure from the media and finance giant to co-found Tradepoint Systems, LLC. The company will provide consulting and software development services in the areas of liquidity aggregation, multi-asset execution management, high-frequency algorithmic trading, and automated testing of FIX-based trading systems.
Tradepoint President and CEO Eric Adelman brings 13+ years’ experience in the financial services community – much of his knowledge gained at Aegisoft, where he sold execution management, algorithmic trading, FX aggregation and automated testing solutions to established global banks and hedge funds. When the company was acquired by Thomson Reuters, Adelman began a three-year stint representing their various investment management, trading and market research products.
Adelman is joined by colleague and 27-year technology veteran Joey Horowitz, who will serve as Tradepoint’s Chief Technology Officer. Mr. Horowitz, whose tenure at Thomson Reuters was also a result of the Aegisoft acquisition, served as CTO of the Athena Transactions Platform group, and Product Manager for the Thomson Reuters Dealing Aggregator. His responsibilities at Tradepoint will encompass technology, sales and strategy. “Today the market structure is under tremendous pressure to evolve,” said Horowitz. “Tradepoint is competitively positioned to effect industry growth, innovation and much-needed change through a combination of creative skill, experience and established know-how.”
Rounding out the former Aegisoft trio, Bill Adelman will contribute 17+ years’ experience in the financial technology sector, serving as Tradepoint’s Director of Product Development. Mr. Adelman also leaves a three-year role at Thomson Reuters, where he led a team in the continued development and improvement of the globally-acclaimed Thomson Reuters Dealing Aggregator. During his years at Aegisoft, Adelman led his developers in the creation of several products, including the AthenaTrader multi-asset trading platform, the AthenaFX liquidity aggregator, and the FIXTest Marketplace for automated, regression, interactive and performance testing of FIX-based trading systems.
With the launch, President and CEO Eric Adelman remarked, “In the tradition set during our years at Aegisoft, where our products were used by over 90% of U.S. bulge-bracket broker dealers, Tradepoint Systems will work closely with client-partners to understand and meet their industry demands with forward-thinking software solutions.”
