Company
Velez Capital Management, LLC (“VCM”) is a New York City based private trading group that currently employs 850 professionals to trade its own account. VCM trains its highly skilled traders via a very comprehensive Trade for LifeTM Training Programs and recruits existing traders who have a proven track record and several years of market experience. VCM and its founder initially back each trained trader with $50,000 in buying power and absorbs all losses suffered by the trader, until profitability is obtained. VCM’s top traders trade with as much as $11,000,000 in buying power.
Our Goals
VCM is rapidly becoming a major force on Wall Street. Its monthly volume has exceeded 500 million shares and it was one of the largest liquidity providers for NASDAQ on the NYSE when rebate trading was in vogue. VCM is expanding its well-trained trading team to 1,000 worldwide over the next 2 years. The firm currently has four offices around the globe, with three more trading facilities opening soon in Sao Paulo, Singapore, and London. Growing a global nation of professional market players, all trading one account, has been the goal and aspiration of VCM’s pioneering CEO for well over a decade.
Our Accomplishments
VCM’s trading ranks have more than quadrupled over the past 10 months and its trading volume increased well over 400% last year. The firm continues to be a top liquidity provider for NASDAQ and last year set an all-time new record for a firm its size by trading over 600 million shares during the month of April 2007.
Our Future
Automated trading and robotics represent the most fascinating area of the world’s financial arena today. In the near future, automated trading via algorithms, advanced neural networks and smart technology will account for the vast majority of the world’s trading volume. VCM’s Automation Division currently designs, develops and runs black and grey box systems that are designed to exploit market opportunities every second of the day, without any human intervention. This rapidly growing area of trading has become one of the major focuses of the firm. Its numerous black and grey boxes are net profitable nearly every day and currently account for more than 20 million shares a month. It is our goal to merge the best human trader skills with top performing technology to create an unbeatable combination.
Our Humanitarian Mission
It has been the long standing belief of Oliver L. Velez, CEO of VCM, that micro trading has the potential to serve as a solution to many of the world’s economic and social ills. By providing access to training, capital and a performance based trading model, improved economic and social development in many developing countries can be the result. As opposed to the all too popular top down solutions, VCM, in collaboration with the Velez Family Foundation and several other major companies, plans to be a torch bearer in the fight against global poverty by bringing its training programs and trading facilities to global areas that lend itself to attacking poverty from the ground up. VCM will accomplish this by offering to those with few resources or any form of collateral its formal training and access to the firm’s trading account via well supervised proprietary trading programs. This effort will be spearheaded in global areas such as Latin America, China, India, and other growth regions of the world.
