Dalzell Trading -- Making Tracks

“Many Wall Street firms seemed to have abandoned professional trading and the coverage of buy-side managers,” says Dalzell. “Of course, the largest clients still get coverage, but mid-sized and small clients get little to none since buy-side managers have decided to eliminate so many of their execution counter-parties. This creates a universe of thousands of potential clients for us – we provide the professional trading that Wall Street has abandoned.”
