accept, execute and settle orders from international clients, across several
order types. In addition to local OMS and high frequency execution platforms,
algorithmic trading, program trading and prime swap applications are used to
satisfy client requirements. Direct Market Access is also facilitated using
firmwide client connectivity solutions that interface with local platforms.
The platforms that support the above are spread across the U.S., U.K. and
Saudi Arabia, with specialist teams providing L2-‎3 coverage. The Equities IT
team in Saudi provides L0-‎1 coverage of these platforms and L1-‎3 coverage of
the numerous platforms located on the ground in Riyadh.

Regulator.
