Boston, MA, March 28, 2008
– Aite Group, LLC today announced that it has partnered with The Cline Group, provider of innovative financial markets training and strategic
consulting services for market participants, application and infrastructure vendors and professional services firms in the financial services industry.
Through the partnership, Aite Group will provide market data and content to The Cline Group for use in the consultancy's financial markets training
courses and materials.
Founded by Bill Cline, former managing partner of Accenture's global capital markets practice, The Cline Group aims to provide
breadth and depth of insightful market knowledge at a time when markets are becoming increasingly complex in their interaction across geographies,
asset classes and industry segments.
"Aite Group's broad research and analysis of the institutional and retail markets, buy-side and sell-side, and front- to back-office
systems and processes makes them an ideal partner for our courses to foster more effective learning," says Bill Cline, founder of The Cline
Group. "By combining Aite Group and select third-party research with in-depth explanations of how and why markets work and interoperate, course
participants will benefit from exposure to industry surveys and metrics that identify and confirm trends that can be used to further business objectives
and strategies, regardless of their role in the industry."
"As technology plays an ever-expanding role in transforming the face of the global marketplace, Aite Group recognizes that high-level
capital markets training is vital now more than ever," says Frank Rizza,
Aite Group co-founder and director of sales. "Giving professionals a broad understanding of every aspect of the markets can be pragmatic in that it aids
them with their own specific job responsibilities, in fostering employee retention and in gaining an edge over the competition."
The first intensive two-and-a-half day training course, Financial Markets Overview, will be held May 13-15 in Charleston, South Carolina. The
instruction will focus on how the global capital markets operate in different asset classes, and how market participants trade, invest, route orders, seek
liquidity and best execution, get market information, manage risk and positions and clear and settle trades. Course participants will learn about the data,
applications, infrastructure, trading venues, and application and service vendors that are driving innovation and competitive differentiation in the financial
markets. Regularly scheduled courses will alternate between New York City and Charleston, and dedicated courses can be scheduled and customized for individual
companies at locations worldwide. The Cline Group also offers three-hour courses on specific "hot topics" in the capital markets, such as The
Intelligent Search For Liquidity, which profiles the fragmentation of liquidity and the role of systems and algorithms in attaining best execution.
