A HISTORY OF SERVICE

Donato A. Cuttone founded our company in 1984 after beginning his career on Wall Street as a “quote boy” in 1963.
From the first day he walked on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Donato knew he had found his passion.

Our firm and our reputation on Wall Street was built by hiring and retaining the best people in the industry, maintaining our clients’ anonymity, and delivering the highest levels of service and execution quality. Since they joined Cuttone & Company in 1987, Donato’s sons – Donato J. and Joseph C. Cuttone – have ensured that our core values remain unchanged. Today, these values are combined with state-of-the-art technology and highly experienced traders to deliver a complete range of execution services and prime brokerage solutions.

A FOUNDATION OF IMPARTIALITY AND EXPERIENCE

Unlike many of our competitors, we are dedicated solely to the brokerage business and the brokerage needs of our clients. This specialized approach provides us with extensive depth of expertise in our field. It also enables our clients to rest easy knowing that the execution, advice and solutions we deliver are free of the potential conflicts of interest that can arise when dealing with larger firms.

We believe that the hard work, experience and loyalty of our people are integral to our success. Our talented brokers, sales traders, clerks and operations staff function as a tightly integrated team. The average length of experience for our brokers is over 23 years, amongst the highest average on Wall Street. Most of our senior staff began their trading careers as clerks over twenty years ago and many have been with us since our inception. This longevity and continuity have been invaluable to understanding our clients’ objectives, anticipating their needs, providing the right level of information flow and ultimately building strong, lasting relationships.

A CONSTANT FOCUS ON TECHNOLOGY

Financial markets and the tools needed to trade continue to evolve at an ever-increasing pace. At Cuttone & Company, we closely monitor advances in trading technology to identify new and enhanced solutions for our clients. Our competitors sometimes can be constrained by having to use in-house resources. Similarly, conflicts of interest can arise when technology is acquired because return on investment, and not client need, is often the driving force behind such acquisitions. Our independence allows us to deliver best-of-breed solutions regardless of source.

We have established strategic alliances with high quality providers of a range of services, including electronic direct market access, customized algorithmic trading, order management, customized portfolio reporting and technical research. When new or improved tools are developed – wherever they are developed – our clients benefit from our independence and ability to implement new technology quickly.
