OptiMark Innovations leverages OptiMark technology, patents and expertise to form partnerships, make acquisitions and complete strategic investments with businesses who are able to develop an unfair competitive advantage as a result of these partnerships. Our current and potential partners are primarily based in the securities trading and financial services markets. The first investment made by OptiMark Innovations was in Ashton Technology Group. Through OptiMark intellectual property, a substantial cash infusion and management expertise, OptiMark Innovations helped Ashton (renamed VIE Financial Group) fundamentally change the way equity trading institutions eliminate risk while delivering the fairest stock trading costs to their customers.
