our founder

In 2001, Chicago trader Joe Ritchie already had a legendary 28-year career as a trader, investor, entrepreneur and owner of CRT. But he still had a passion: To achieve the best electronic execution for equity trades. Assembling a best-in-class team of traders, researchers and developers, he formed what is now known as Fox River Execution. The company developed an electronic execution system that embeds Trader Logic into its mathematical models.

In less than a decade, we’ve attracted a varied list of institutional clients that includes large, established blue-chip firms and successful boutique-sized companies.
