Tech Bytes: Citi Unit Backs Link With Trading System

Citicorp Securities Services Inc. has signed an agreement with Optimark Technologies Inc. to provide an interface to its Optimark Trading System.

The agreement lets investment managers designate the Citicorp subsidiary as their clearing broker for trades executed through the Optimark Trading System.

A separate agreement with AutEx Group, a division of Thomson Financial Services, which publishes American Banker, lets investment managers route orders to Optimark via AutEx's TradeRoute Service.

More than 150 large institutional investors have arranged a link with Optimark, which lets traders anonymously express their willingness to trade.
