Rice develops its technology on a client‐by‐client basis to serve the unique needs of each customer. Our customized algos scour the current market landscape as well as historical data, seeking out the best liquidity sources on the exchange floors and delivering optimized execution solutions. Rice is front‐end agnostic, allowing us to work with a wide range of trading front‐ends and proprietary trading systems.
While our technological capabilities are exceptional, Rice’s people are what truly set us apart from our competitors on the Street. Rice Execution Services is not just a trading machine driven and controlled by computers. Our veteran sales traders are available every day to talk with you one-on-one about your needs and concerns. Because we are small and specialized, each client is extremely valuable to us. They know they can rely on us for rapid and thoughtful responses to issues and inquiries.
