PEAK6 Strategic Capital, the firm's capital investment group, will also build a presence in New York, along with employees from other PEAK6 businesses and investments. The midtown office will be the second location in Manhattan for PEAK6 after the financial district office at 28 Liberty Street occupied primarily by its subsidiary Apex Clearing, a digital custody and clearing platform.
"Opening an office in the financial capital of the world will increase access to new ideas on markets, businesses and technologies," said co-founder Jenny Just. "This move will allow PEAK6 to enhance its current relationships and partnerships with companies in New York and throughout the tri-state area."
Co-founder Matt Hulsizer adds, "We see this expansion as a commitment to exploring new business opportunities and partnerships with other firms. We are excited to take a more active role in the New York fintech community and take advantage of the city's unparalleled range of talent, culture and resources."
