-Global Execution Service
Global Execution Service (GES) offers services and advanced execution to hedge funds, institutional investors and other professional corporate investors. Global Execution Service represents a clear departure from conventional equity sales that only offer a single, uniform service.

To ensure quick and precise execution in all markets, we have developed advanced execution and transaction technology, including direct market access transactions, where trading orders are connected directly to the market anonymously, and in algorithmic trading, which limits market impact and enables efficient execution.
