Lind-Waldock Name Returns to Futures Industry

CHICAGO, Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Following its purchase by Man Financial, Inc., Lind-Waldock, one of the best known and most respected futures brokerages for individuals, announced today that it is returning to the Lind- Waldock name it had for 40 years.

"As a premier brokerage for individual futures investors for 40 years, Lind-Waldock was synonymous with exceptional client service, competitive pricing, access to markets worldwide, quality futures trading advice and education, and integrity. Today, we return to that name and everything it stands for," said Mark Sachs, President of Lind-Waldock.

"Lind-Waldock is one of the most respected brokerages in the futures industry, and we are pleased to have it as part of Man Financial, a firm with global reach and resources," said Kevin Davis, Chairman and CEO of Man Financial.

Lind-Waldock will remain headquartered in Chicago, and the company plans no major changes to its operations.

"Lind-Waldock is the ideal resource for individuals who want to invest in futures. Existing customers will receive the same level of service they have come to expect of Lind, and I encourage prospective customers to contact us and see what we have to offer," Sachs said.

Founded in 1965, Lind-Waldock was one of the first brokerages to cater specifically to individual futures traders. The firm has a history of providing innovative solutions to futures investors: It was the first futures brokerage to offer trading at discounted commissions, the first to develop its own order-routing system to U.S. exchange trading floors, and the first to offer clients an online order-entry platform.

Today, Lind-Waldock offers individual investors several types of accounts, including self-directed for those who want to trade futures themselves, broker-assisted for investors who want the assistance of a futures broker, managed futures for those who want to have a Commodity Trading Advisor manage their futures account for them, and auto-executed for those who want to buy or lease a trading system for auto-execution of trading orders.
