MONTREAL and TORONTO, July 7 /CNW/ - CanDeal is pleased to report that aggregated traded volumes on its marketplace surpassed $3 Trillion during the month of June, 2010.
"Our third trillion was traded in 25% of the time that it took us to reach our first trillion" said Jayson Horner, Co-Founder, President and CEO of CanDeal. "Seeing such great momentum in our activity it is testament to the value we deliver to the marketplace," he added.
In addition, CanDeal reports that its buy-side client base has grown to over 225 institutions.
