About the Company

Tower Research Capital

Trades financial markets with computer models

Tower Research Capital trades financial instruments with computer models and supplies liquidity, or ready buying and selling prices, to other market participants. Its researchers test strategies against historical data before deploying them through a platform built largely in-house. The platform combines market data, order routing and risk controls, letting traders act on signals across stocks, futures, options and currencies. It earns trading profits by taking positions for its own account, and its liquidity businesses trade directly with counterparties rather than managing their investments. Tower was founded in 1998 and is headquartered in New York City.
