While automation and electronification are key drivers of volume and industry focus, a substantial share of OTC trading remains on voice and chat. Adroit’s success to date across diverse, nuanced OTC markets has been driven in part by solving for both high-touch voice-trading and automated, low-touch workflows.
Ben Cukier, Co-Founder and Partner of Centana Growth Partners said, “Adroit is a trailblazing EMS in fixed-income cash and OTC derivatives, addressing a void within a historically opaque industry. Adroit’s approach gives traders a uniquely powerful tool that removes complexities and enhances the execution process, Adroit has built a world-class EMS and has a roster of some of the most prominent buy-side clients, all built without outside funding. We’re proud to support the next phase of their business as they continue to scale and grow.”
Founded in 2014 as an all-encompassing OTC solution provider, Adroit has evolved into a dynamic force in EMS. The company achieved profitability in 2016, and by 2021, it strategically focused on EMS capabilities in fixed-income cash and derivatives, where the buy side’s need was most acute.
