History
HRT's founding partners graduated from Harvard and MIT with degrees in computer science and mathematics, and founded HRT in 2002. Armed with programming skills and sharp quantitative minds, the founders hypothesized that by applying a fresh take to trading stocks, one that truly leverages the power of technology, they could meaningfully impact a world still dominated by manual operators. Very quickly, their algorithms saw success in the markets and HRT grew from their origins in US equities to a global, multi-asset class trading firm. Today HRT employs over a thousand brilliant minds from a variety of mathematical, scientific, technical, and business disciplines. We trade on nearly all of the world's electronic markets, and are a leading voice for fair and open markets. HRT launched our Single Dealer Platform (SDP) in the US and Systematic Internaliser (SI) in Europe in 2018, and Client Market Making in 2022.
