NEW YORK, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Unlike conventional broker-dealers, Triad (Est. 1976) acts solely as agent in facilitating the execution, clearance, and settlement of trades for its professional and institutional customers. Triad processes and clears all of its securities transactions through Ridge Clearing & Outsourcing Solutions, Inc. (Ridge), a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR - News) . Both firms share a similar philosophy: Neither Triad nor Ridge invests its own capital or trades securities for its own accounts and is not directly exposed to the market risks of adverse and volatile environments.

"Our business model is simple and it works. Our customers come first and we have always been committed to a low risk business model which protects our customers' assets. We intend to continue to avoid the practices of proprietary trading, market making, leveraging our client assets, and exposing our capital to market risks. Accordingly, in Ridge, we have secured a clearing firm with the same business philosophy," says Richard Schultz, President of Triad Securities.

Differentiating themselves further, Triad and Ridge Clearing are not investment banks; therefore, the leveraging of assets or investments with the firms' capital in private transactions, real estate, structured products, illiquid securities, or other high risk instruments is nonexistent. Simplicity is the key to risk mitigation as Triad Securities and Ridge only execute or clear equities, equity options, and fixed income securities transactions. This straightforward, yet powerful, model has allowed Triad and Ridge to weather the recent financial crisis and continue with their exemplary reputations intact.

The clearing relationship between Triad and Ridge allows Triad to receive the unique benefits of an industry-leading, institutional clearing firm, while Triad's clients enjoy an atypically high-level of personalized customer service through Triad's operational support system. Additionally, Broadridge was ranked #1 and was awarded "Top Overall Honors" in 2008 and 2009 in Orbys Black Book of Sourcing Brokerage Process Service Outsourcing survey (formerly Brown-Wilson Group's Black Book of Outsourcing®).
