| Terra Nova Trading receives #1 rating by
Barron’s in
Customer Service and Client Reporting.
Annual survey rates Terra Nova as #2 Direct-Access Broker Nationwide!
Chicago, March 24, 2003 – In a recent Online Broker Survey, Barron’s
Magazine awarded Terra Nova Trading, L.L.C. #1 placement in Reports and
Customer Access. Terra Nova also secured the #2 ranking for a Direct-Access
Broker for active traders and investors. The survey assessed a total of
28 online brokers and direct-access specialists based upon five distinct
categories.
Terra Nova was recognized as the best for the quality and depth of
its online trading reports, investor education and professional customer
support. One of the many services Terra Nova offers is a Trade Evaluator
Report, which is made available exclusively to their clients. The Trade
Evaluator analyzes trades across a variety of time horizons and nine
different trade parameter groupings. “Education and ownership
of the trading process continue to be the cornerstone of our existence,”
says Chris Doubek, Terra Nova president. “Through understanding
the nature of executed trades, our customers can identify their most
successful trading patterns. This empowers our customers to refine their
strategies and truly own the trading process.”
For the second consecutive year in a row, Terra Nova received the #2
Direct-Access Broker rating in the nation. High marks were given in
several areas, including trade execution, which continues to remain
a consistent attribute for the company each year. One key component
of this high mark is the RealTick® trading platform provided by
Townsend Analytics, Ltd., which provides Terra Nova’s clients
integrated equity, options and futures quotes and order entry through
a single platform. “While other broker dealers are trending towards
a decrease in services, we continue to seek opportunities to add value
for our clients,” says senior vice president David Lipsett. “Our
commitment to the success of our customers is further proven by our
alliance’s grand opening of three new MarketWise.coms
in New York, Boca Raton and Montreal, Canada. The school teaches individuals
the skills necessary to research, select, execute and evaluate trading
and investing decisions.”
