Trading systems innovator reports strong interest in European ETF market as US participants seek new opportunities

Stockholm, Sweden, March 29, 2011 — Tbricks, the provider of innovative highperformance trading systems, today announces that it has officially launched Tbricks ETF Trading to facilitate trading, pricing, market-making, basket hedging and currency hedging in exchange traded funds (ETFs).
