tick Trading Software and Baader Bank agree on strategic partnership
Düsseldorf/Munich, 21. April 2023 - Two important providers active in the German capital market are joining forces: tick Trading Software AG (ISIN: DE000A0LA304, ticker: TBX) and Baader Bank AG are joining forces in a strategic partnership and pooling their expertise. In this context, the Düsseldorf-based specialist for trading software will provide Baader Bank with its trading system platform TBMX as technical infrastructure. This gives the investment bank from Unterschleissheim near Munich the opportunity to offer its customers a reliable trading frontend at short notice that has proven itself over many years in the financial industry. "We are very pleased to count Baader Bank, another big name in the German financial industry, among our strategic partners and to be able to demonstrate our expertise in the field of global trading systems in joint projects," explains Carsten Schölzki, CEO of tick Trading Software AG (tick-TS).
Baader Bank AG's institutional clients - asset managers, fund managers and capital investment companies (KAGs) - can use the TBMX platform to trade over 500,000 securities, including equities, bonds, securitized derivatives, ETFs and exchange-traded funds on the connected marketplaces and settle them directly via Baader Bank AG's core banking software. The TBMX platform can also be extended to incorporate different market data providers and alternative asset classes such as cryptocurrencies, as well as advanced functionalities such as securities lending, repurchase agreements (repos) and foreign exchange (FX) trading.
"The high degree of professionalism and expertise as well as the enormous speed with which the experts at tick-TS implement even the most demanding projects convinced us," says Oliver Riedel, Member of the Board at Baader Bank, where he is responsible for the Brokerage division, among other things.
A major attraction of the partnership for both companies lies in relevant synergy effects and the opportunity to think bigger together. "We can certainly imagine that the cooperation will bring additional new customers in the future, such as those that Baader Bank connects via its trading infrastructure," says tick-TS CEO Carsten Schölzki. Oliver Riedel also sees great advantages in terms of customer acquisition: "The technical optimization of the trading front end for our professional customers makes our offer even more attractive for existing and potential interested parties," says the Deputy CEO of Baader Bank.
