An appropriate structure and control of profitability

We have made changes to our structure to help adapt to changes in the markets and the needs of our clients. Our new structure was developed in 2005 and finalised and implemented in September, with a matrix structure based on product lines and regions.

Each product line has its own research and development teams, backed by our R&D centre in Tunis, and distributes its solutions in cooperation with our regional teams.

Aware of the importance of the London markets, where we are seeking to strengthen our presence, we have transferred part of the group’s management to the City along with the Trading Solutions and Client Connectivity product lines. This will enable us to be even more receptive to the needs of the major UK-based investment banks.

We have continued our efforts to strengthen profitability through efficient management of our resources, matching them with the challenges we face. Flexibility and responsiveness are amongst the key qualities of our staff teams.

20 years of experience and innovation

Since 1987, GL TRADE has gradually built itself into a truly global company. We are present in more than 20 countries and, since the acquisition of FNX at the beginning of 2007, we now have more than 1,300 employees. More than 1,000 clients, some of whom have been with us since the beginning, have put their trust in our solutions, which are distributed throughout the world.

The group has major ambitions for 2007, both in terms of organic growth and acquisitions, as we continue to build our position over the next three years as one of the major suppliers of complete integrated solutions for the financial community.
