This strategic alliance aims to position Parabellum as a major global electronic broker and a unique source of liquidity in the FX marketplace focused on serving the Americas region. Through this joint venture, Parabellum will be able to present a clear, full eFX product deployment strategy in a scalable fashion to multiple venues globally. By using Parabellum’s high-touch liquidity management skills, SGM’s established distribution footprint, and Seabury Capital’s global reach, this strategic alliance creates the right synergy.
