Clearing & Execution Services for Commodity Trading Advisors

Since we became a Futures Commission Merchant back in 1990, Vision Financial Markets ("Vision") has focused on working with Commodity Trading Advisors ("CTAs"). We therefore have over two decades of experience assisting CTAs with their needs including execution via electronic platforms, upstairs order desks or down in the pit. Our Order Desk, floor staff and Operations team work closely with CTAs to help ensure that business runs as smoothly as possible. Regardless of whether the CTA is an existing manager with over $100 million under management, an emerging CTA or even a start-up, Vision is able to work closely with each CTA to help them grow their respective business and operate smoothly.

Some of the many benefits a CTA can receive by choosing to do business with Vision include the following:

• We have a long history raising assets for CTAs through our network of over 200 Introducing Broker offices. We take a first hand view of performance and communicate accordingly regarding those CTAs that we work closely with including asset raising efforts;
• We are able to provide advice with regard to regulatory issues;
• We can custody and execute for a CTA as well as have the ability to act as a give-up broker if the assets are held with a different firm;
• We have the ability to accept block orders;
• We provide good technology including a choice of many advanced trading platforms;
• We have multiple Chicago floor locations for orders that are best executed in the pit rather than electronically; and
• We are a self-clearing member of all of the primary U.S. futures exchanges.

Whether you are just starting up or a large CTA looking to spread around your execution flow, Vision is a Futures Commission Merchant with a focus on supporting your business. Contact us to learn more about how we can help you with your needs.
