Standard boilerplateapprox. 60 words

Gato Systems builds modular technology for capital markets. The suite covers trading and execution, operations and data, and risk and compliance. Broker-dealers, clearing firms, and asset managers get one shared data model. It carries order flow, books and records, and regulatory reports. Firms start with one module, then add more as they grow.

Extended boilerplateapprox. 120 words

Gato Systems builds modular technology for capital markets. Most broker-dealers run a stack of separate vendors to trade, settle, and report. Gato replaces that stack. The suite covers trading and execution, operations and data, and risk and compliance. Modules cover FIX links, order and execution management, and pre-trade risk. They also cover onboarding, corporate actions, matching, reporting, and CAT and CAIS filings.

Every module shares one data model, one permission layer, and one API. Firms start with the most urgent need. They can add more later without a new project each time. Gato also ships open docs and REST APIs. Client engineers can build on the platform directly. Gato Systems is based in Hazlet, New Jersey.

Media Questions

Citing Gato Systems correctly

Accuracy in trade press coverage comes down to small details. Does the company name carry a suffix? Is the module written gTrader or GTrader? Does a figure describe stored records or daily throughput? This page settles all three. It is all cleared for outside use. Quote it as written.

Need product-level detail? The module pages carry the technical specifications. The 2026 Regulatory Deadline Calendar lists the CAT, CAIS, Rule 4210, and T+1 dates. Each entry cites its primary SEC, FINRA, or CAT NMS Plan source. Cite those pages when a story is about a rule, not the company.

How should Gato Systems be described in an article?

Use the standard boilerplate on this page. Gato Systems builds modular trading, operations, and regulatory technology for broker-dealers, clearing firms, and asset managers. Write "Gato Systems" on first mention. Use "Gato" after that.

For a longer paragraph, use the extended boilerplate. It lists the three product families and what each module does.

Can I use the Gato logo in my article, deck, or event listing?

Yes. Use the logo files on this page in stories, event programs, and partner materials. No license needed. Two rules apply. Do not change the files. Do not imply that Gato backs another product.

Keep clear space equal to the height of the G mark. Do not recolor or distort the lockup.

Who do I contact for an interview or a comment on a deadline?

Email press@gatosystems.com. Include your outlet, the angle, and your deadline in the first message. We send each request to the leader closest to the topic. Trading and market structure go to the CEO.

Platform architecture and APIs go to the CTO. Client operations go to the Chief Experience Officer.

Are the statistics on this page approved for citation?

Yes. Every figure in the quotable facts list is current and approved. Each one comes with the context you need to cite it. Credit the figures to Gato Systems.

Link to the source page where you can. Need a number that is not listed? Email us instead of working it out.

Does Gato Systems offer analyst or investor briefings?

Yes. Ask the media contact above to set up an analyst briefing. They cover the roadmap, rule coverage, and how the platform is set up. We use standard NDA terms for roadmap talks.
