clients. We have substantial interests in facilitating flow from
on-shore to international markets, and we can now further support
international clients wanting to trade into China. TT’s full suite of
industry-leading tools and infrastructure will provide CN First clients
with a tangible edge when trading Chinese products.”

markets. The solution with CN First provides TT’s customers their first
opportunity to trade into China with a truly professional trading
platform, making use of TT’s high-end capabilities to explore new
