On May 1, 2026, Broadridge completed its acquisition of CQG, adding futures and options execution management, algorithmic trading, analytics, and market connectivity to its capital markets platform.
CQG brings tools used by futures brokers, institutional investors, retail brokers, proprietary trading firms, and hedge funds to route, analyze, and execute trades. That gives Broadridge more capabilities in the daily work of firms that trade futures, options, foreign exchange, and digital assets.
Broadridge says its technology and operations platforms support average daily trading of more than $15T in tokenized and traditional securities globally. Adding CQG brings more trading activity into that infrastructure base. This type of scale gives the deal weight.
The deal also connects to Broadridge’s recent expansion into Canadian digital asset wealth infrastructure. It's not just about digital assets though. It's workflow ownership across the investment stack, from trading and analytics to custody, asset servicing, and portfolio infrastructure.
Broadridge is building around where financial firms spend time and money every day. Trading, connectivity, analytics, asset servicing, and digital assets are becoming harder to buy as separate pieces. That creates competition for fintech platforms selling solutions or brokers relying on thin integrations across multiple vendors.
