Why Instinet

Innovation is fundamental. Trust is essential. 

Since Instinet’s beginning, setting new standards for innovation in trading technology has been what has set us apart. But relationships have always been at the core of our business.

At the heart of these relationships is something that’s getting rarer in today’s complex and competitive markets: trust. We’ve been building trust and technology hand in hand for over 50 years, always working in our clients’ best interest, innovating to meet their real-world needs, and backing it up with consistent and impartial service.
