Trading Technologies International, Inc. (TT), a global capital markets technology platform provider, today announced that it has closed on the acquisition of ATEO SAS, a leading provider of post-trade solutions for listed derivatives, expanding TT’s reach into clearing and other middle-office technologies and services. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
ATEO will operate as a global managed service hosted in TT’s data centers. ATEO’s post-trade allocation engine is already fully integrated into the TT order management system (OMS), providing TT OMS clients with seamless access to the functionality.

David Solo, TT Board member, led the acquisition negotiation on behalf of TT, and Fieldfisher acted as the firm’s legal advisor. NINE58 Advisors served as financial advisor and Dentons as legal advisor to ATEO.
