President´s Letter
Never before have investors so needed to manage the risk in futures, forex and options markets. Today, markets are more liquid than ever, participation is at an all–time pinnacle, and PFGBEST.com is growing at a pace never seen before.
Our stage is set for further organic growth, payoff from a series of acquisitions, and the teamwork across divisions to achieve these strategic priorities:
- Packaging and distribution of products and technologies
- Enhancement of our intellectual capital (the best people, and the best technical experience and talent)
- Best–in–class customer–driven support.
Because we own our own technology, we own our future. A total of 17 electronic platforms have been spun off from the original BESTDirect. Forex capabilities have also been added to existing and new futures platforms, including BEST Direct 8.0, BEST Direct Trade Navigator, BEST Direct ProTrader, BEST Direct Web, and more.
Still our flagship, PFGBEST.com futures trading propelled us once again to be one of the Top 50 Brokers, according to the annual Futures magazine rankings. As a leader in efficiency, we are now extensively integrated through our own platforms (those mentioned above, now licensed and white–labeled to other firms) as well as through TradeBolt, Trade Wizard, TT terminals, and more.
As a leader in managed futures and managed forex, our professional group has created blended portfolios, customized and managed by PFGBEST.com, which are currently in great demand as diversification strategies. Unlike other competitors ours are designed to fill the unique niche of low barrier–to–entry strategies for retail investors as well as for institutional clients.
Our new brand PFGBEST.com and slogan – The BEST thing about our technology is our people – have focused attention on our ability to help you find solutions to your trading needs through one–on–one customer advocacy from some of the brightest and BEST people in the industry.
We are proud of the accomplishments of our people, and we hope to earn more of your business.
Thank you.
Russell R. Wasendorf, Jr.
President and Chief Operating Officer
