Jeremy Frommer is President of RBC Global Prime Services, a provider of innovative financial services and customized trading technologies for institutional trading desks, hedge funds and instividuals. Previous to merging with the Royal Bank of Canada, Mr. Frommer joined Carlin Financial Group in 2004 and has since led the company through a period of unprecedented growth and technological innovation, placing the firm at the forefront of integrating finance and technology. Over the past 3 years, he is credited with doubling Carlin’s institutional trading desks in size and volume while turning RBCAccel, the company’s full service direct market access trading system, into a fixture on the trading desks of leading hedge funds across the country. This rapid growth, generated by Mr. Frommer and his team, attracted the attention of RBC Capital Markets Corporation which acquired Carlin Financial Group on January 2, 2007. RBC GPS is now a brand name of RBC Capital Markets Corporation, which in turn, is a brand name of the Royal Bank of Canada Financial Group. Under the RBC Capital Markets umbrella, Mr. Frommer has furthered RBC GPS' evolution and is rapidly expanding the company’s suite of products and services. The firm recently launched RBCAccel Options Pro, a customizable options trading module that enhances RBCAccel's position as a top tier multi-asset class DMA. Mr. Frommer will lead the expansion of RBC GPS into futures trading and order management while continuing to develop innovative trading solutions and services that meet the unique needs of institutional trading desks, hedge funds and instividuals in North America. Mr. Frommer brings 17 years of trading and financial management experience to RBC GPS. In 2002, he co-founded NextGen Trading, a pioneering trading software development firm. In late 2004, Frommer merged NextGen with Carlin Financial Group and became President and Chief Operating Officer. Previously, Mr. Frommer was Senior Portfolio Manager for Bank of America Securities, Inc.’s proprietary merger arbitrage and special situations group where he was responsible for the performance of a $1+ billion portfolio. Prior to his tenure at Bank of America, Mr. Frommer was Director of Merger Arbitrage and Event Driven Trading at the Royal Bank of Canada where he was responsible for the performance of a $500+MM portfolio and managing a team of traders and analysts.
