How We Started

The idea

In the mid 1990s, good college friends Allen Zaydlin, Vitaly Shatsky and Alex Korsky were consultants commissioned to build an electronic trading system for one of the world’s largest investment banks. The software was based on a new protocol for messaging called Financial Information Exchange (FIX). Now known as a FIX Engine, their solution allowed the bank to electronically exchange financial information faster, at higher volumes, thus securing a tactical advantage in Straight-Through Processing (STP).

An obsession

As FIX gained worldwide acceptance as a messaging standard, it ignited a global explosion in electronic trading. And it compelled Allen,Vitaly, and Alex to pursue what ultimately became an obsession: more efficient electronic trading.

“Aficionado of efficiency”

Realizing that FIX could be the foundation for technology to monitor and control the entire trade process, the astute trio founded InfoReach to develop end-to-end electronic trading solutions. Layer by layer, the team crafted an architecture that could support high-performance, multi-asset trading. They engineered it to be configurable and scalable to ensure maximum efficiency under any circumstance. And in the long, painstaking process, they each bestowed upon the other the honorary title of “Efficionado”-an aficionado of efficiency.

One of the world's first multi-asset, broker-neutral trading platforms

With the foundation firmly in place, InfoReach assembled a top-tier group of developers to launch one of the world’s first multi-asset, broker-neutral trading platforms. Dubbed InfoReach Trade Management System (TMS), it combined order entry, rule-based trading, order management and FIX connectivity in a single platform. And it was an immediate success with institutions who wanted a trade-ready solution with a user-friendly interface.

The pursuit of efficiency continued

The TMS cemented InfoReach’s position as a leader in enterprise-strength trade solutions. So our decidedly democratic founders then set their sights on delivering technology that could help any firm compete in the markets-regardless of size or IT infrastructure.

The rest, as they say, is history.

InfoReach added more staff and rolled out “all-in-one” solutions that provided small- to mid-sized firms with all the trading tools and global market connectivity they needed-without the time and cost of building and maintaining their own IT infrastructure. It was the silver bullet the industry needed, putting more efficient trade execution in reach of all.
