OUR PHILOSOPHY

What’s good for the market is good for GETCO
GETCO’s strategy is to align our business plan with what is best for the marketplace. We earn our revenues by providing enhanced liquidity and efficiency to electronic financial markets, which in turn results in lower costs for market participants (e.g. mutual funds, pension funds, and individual investors).

In addition to actively trading, we partner with many exchanges and their regulators to increase transparency throughout the industry and to create more efficient means for the transference of financial risk.

Innovation, iteration, automation
To contribute to increasing liquidity and efficiency in the world’s financial markets, we constantly re-invent ourselves. We have a culture of innovation based on experimentation and rapid iteration to find new solutions every day. We leverage cutting-edge technology and novel thinking to stay at the leading edge of changes transforming our industry.

Winning takes a team
GETCO succeeds because our associates focus on making our team greater than the sum of its parts. We work to maximize one another’s opportunities to contribute and to ensure the best ideas rise to the top. We live by core values that include cultivating a low-ego environment, practicing mental flexibility, frequently engaging in vigorous debate and treating everyone with respect.
