CrossFinder, Credit Suisse’s internal crossing network, anonymously matches buy and sell orders, and offers the ability to execute large blocks of stock with less impact than would be likely in the public markets, according to the company.

FutureTrade allows our clients to quickly access both traditional electronic networks as well as CrossFinder, all simultaneously from a single platform, said Guy Cirillo, AES global channel sales manager at Credit Suisse. In addition, with Credit Suisse’s proprietary algorithms built into the interface, we are giving our clients a true single-source solution for all their electronic equity trading needs in the major global markets.
