GL TRADE Americas opened its doors in 1998 in New York with one employee. Today, the subsidiary employs 70 people with offices in New York, Chicago, and Toronto. GLTRADE Americas counts 80 clients with the list continuing to grow.

Since its opening, the subsidiary has undertaken a number of initiatives to better service the local clients including the development of a FIX gateway to adhere to the industry standard protocol, development of local market trading products such as GL MOSAIC to meet the unique trading needs of our users, and implementing a 24x5 help desk to better support our clients as they trade the global markets.

The American subsidiary has been profitable since its inception (with a double digit profit margin after tax since 2001). Business in North America represents approximately 11% of GL TRADE Global revenue today.
