R.J. O’Brien & Associates (RJO), the largest independent futures brokerage firm in the United States, announced today that the Chicago-based company has moved its New York operation into larger office space to accommodate the firm’s growing institutional presence in the city and addition of numerous experienced teams of broker groups.
The move consolidated the two offices previously situated in the downtown and uptown New York City areas into one office more than twice the size of the two previous locations combined. The new office is located at 1500 Broadway in Times Square.
Joseph Murphy, Executive Vice President and President of the Americas, said: “Over the past two years, our New York operation has diversified and grown our presence dramatically with the addition of veteran futures brokerage teams in the areas of metals, soft commodities and foreign exchange, along with experienced specialists in over-the-counter energy and structured products. As part of our diversification efforts, we will continue to add a number of top-tier institutional brokerage teams in the near future. Our terrific new space in Times Square will enable all of our groups here to collaborate, while providing room for our continued expansion.”
