Wedbush Securities has adopted a cloud-ready platform from trading technology provider Rapid Addition to upgrade its trading infrastructure. This integration supports multi-asset class trading, improves risk management, and streamlines post-trade operations, aligning with Wedbush’s commitment to innovation and high client service standards.

The platform helps unify front and middle-office processes, offering greater efficiency and scalability. It positions Wedbush to respond more quickly to client needs and adapt as business demands grow. The collaboration also paves the way for future developments, including expanding into new asset classes and workflows.

“This expansion underscores our focus on being a technology-first firm that our clients can rely on – not just today, but as markets evolve,” Rodrigo Parrode, EVP, Chief Operating Officer at Wedbush Securities, tells TradingTech Insight. “By adopting cutting-edge infrastructure like Rapid Addition’s platform, we’re ensuring that our clients benefit from faster execution, smarter workflows, and the kind of responsive, always-on service that defines our commitment.”
