12 Firms are Recognized for Being Top Distributors of NASDAQ OMX's Premier U.S.
Data Feed
NEW YORK, June 16, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc.
(Nasdaq:NDAQ) today introduced the TotalView Preferred Partners program, an
initiative that recognizes the top distributors of NASDAQ OMX's premier U.S.
data feed.
NASDAQ TotalView displays the full order book for NASDAQ market participants
and displays every single quote and order at every price level in NASDAQ-,
NYSE-, NYSE Amex- and regional-listed securities, allowing users to make better
informed investment decisions. NASDAQ is the most liquid market for all
U.S.-listed equity securities -- making it the gold source for U.S. equity
data. In April 2009, NASDAQ's matched share of U.S. equity volume was more than
any other U.S. exchange for the twenty-fifth consecutive month.
"The TotalView Preferred Partners program gives us the opportunity to
acknowledge the top distributors of TotalView, the premier source of NASDAQ OMX
data in the U.S.," said Randall Hopkins, Senior Vice President NASDAQ OMX
Global Data Products. "We are pleased to recognize members of the TotalView
Preferred Partners program for their commitment to provide their customers with
the best possible view of the NASDAQ market."
All TotalView external distributors are eligible to become a TotalView
Preferred Partner based on the scope and breadth of their distribution of the
data. TotalView Preferred Partners receive elevated marketing support and cross
promotion from NASDAQ OMX. Further information on qualifying as a TotalView
Preferred Partner is available on
http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/Trader.aspx?id=TotalView.
As a result of the evaluation, the following 12 firms -- listed in alphabetical
order -- were named to the TotalView Preferred Partners program:
* Assent LLC

* Genesis Securities, LLC
* Goldman Sachs
