Market Structure

Rosenblatt helped pioneer the field of market-structure analysis more than 20 years ago. We give clients the intelligence they need to navigate and thrive in ever-more complex, fragmented and automated markets, without conflicts that plague other brokers. This includes written reports, consulting engagements and special events, including our must-attend annual conferences in New York and London.

COPING WITH COMPLEXITY

Trading markets have transformed dramatically in recent years. Once simple, slow and manual, they're now highly complex, fast and largely automated. No one knows more about how the landscape has changed — and what it means for traders — than our team of seasoned experts.
