from ETrade's 99 corporate report:
"Imagine "anytime, anywhere, any device" access to financial transactions and information. That's E*TRADE's vision. The ultimate goal is to create a global cross-border trading network to provide investors around the world with the information, tools, and access needed to invest in international markets from any place, at any time, through any device. Eventually, investors won't be restricted to the opening and closing bells or to a particular exchange. Wherever there's an active market?whether it's London, Hong Kong, or New York?E*TRADE's goal is to bring that market to retail, corporate, and institutional investors worldwide.
With the integration of TIR Holdings,(TM) this cross-border trading network will ultimately enable investors to trade securities in international markets as easily as they trade domestically. Consumers worldwide will be able to trade cross-border, in whatever currency they choose, in a seamless and transparent way.
With more than 600 institutional clients and memberships with exchanges around the world, TIR Holdings(TM) is active in equity, fixed-income, and currency markets in more than 35 countries. We intend to overlay our technology architecture on the TIR network to deliver an entirely new level of automation and performance to international retail, corporate, and institutional investors.
Breaking down geographic barriers, E*TRADE© is building a branded presence in the top 20 financial markets worldwide?representing some 95 percent of the world's financial assets. We already serve customers through branded sites in seven countries outside the U.S.?Australia, Canada, France, Japan, New Zealand, Sweden, and the United Kingdom?and we've just begun." |
