About GETCO
--------------------------------------
GETCO is an electronic market-maker and a leading liquidity provider in many
of the world's financial markets, such as NYSE, Nasdaq, and Chicago
Mercantile Exchange (CME). We specialize in high-frequency trading using
automated algorithms that we develop in-house.

Eight years ago GETCO was two people trading futures in Chicago. Today our
200+ associates in Chicago, New York, London, and Singapore are applying our
proprietary, always-evolving technology to transacting business in cash,
futures, and options products across four asset classes - equities, fixed
income, currencies and commodities - in the U.S., European, and Asian time
zones.

While our primary objective is to generate profits from principal trading,
GETCO's presence as a leading liquidity provider and market maker in many of
the world's major exchanges, ECNs, and ATSs also contributes to improving
efficiency, facilitating risk transfer, and lowering the cost of capital for
participants throughout the financial markets.
