About Trade Informatics

Trade Informatics, LLC operates as a specialized financial technology firm providing sophisticated analytics and trading solutions to institutional investors. Established in New York, the company was founded in 2012, although SEC filings indicate a formation in 2007 for the purpose of conducting business as a broker-dealer. The firm's core mission is to equip institutional clients, such as asset managers and asset owners, with tools and data-driven insights to preserve their trading alpha.

The company's business model is centered on offering a suite of products and services that deliver quantitative trade analysis and systematic execution. Revenue is generated through licensing and consulting agreements for its proprietary software and platforms. The client base primarily consists of institutional asset managers, including hedge funds, who require rigorous trade analysis and performance benchmarking. One of its key offerings was a Peer Analysis solution, which allowed asset managers to benchmark their trading performance against a vast universe of competitors across 80 countries. This tool was designed to provide actionable insights into trading costs and returns by analyzing factors like region, market capitalization, and order size.

Trade Informatics developed two main product lines: TAP (Trade Analysis) and START (Systematic Trading). TAP is a trade cost analytics (TCA) software, while START is a broker-neutral systematic trade execution platform. These products provided clients with a time-stamped audit trail of counterparty information and capabilities for intraday compliance reviews of trade exceptions, supporting best execution practices. A significant milestone for the company occurred in August 2021, when it was acquired by Abel Noser Holdings, LLC. This acquisition integrated Trade Informatics' analytical capabilities and product suite into Abel Noser's offerings, creating one of the largest trade data universes for peer group comparisons. Following the acquisition, CEO Matthew Celebuski transitioned to a new role as senior managing director and global head of Abel Noser's electronic products group.
