access to our algorithmic suite."
    "CIBC World Markets' work with Charles River reinforces our commitment to
invest in technology that provides our clients in Canada and around the world
with best-in-class trading platforms. Our suite of algorithms on Charles River

strategies to access liquidity and achieve best execution," said Tom Driscoll,
