New York, NY (June 28, 2010) — OTR Global LLC ("OTR"), a leading provider of primary industry intelligence/marketplace checks and high-touch trading for institutional investors, announced the opening of a new office in the heart of Boston's Financial District. In order to better serve its regional clients, OTR is expanding its Boston office, increasing staff and adding a trading desk. This expansion will bolster OTR's long-established sales and trading operation headquartered in New York, and additional research and sales offices in San Francisco, Shanghai and Germany. The balance of OTR Global's team of more than 200 investigative journalists work virtually in the local markets they cover throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.

"Boston has always been a key financial center and area of growth for OTR. Our increased presence and closer proximity to our clients will enhance our ability to service them better, with research and now trading, and a great team with deep roots in Boston," said Stanton Green, President and CEO of OTR Global. "Despite the downturn, our client base has grown significantly which makes having a larger local presence a logical step for us. We're very excited about the opportunity to offer clients new services here while also expanding our sector coverage and international research capabilities in regions like China."

OTR Global's Boston trading desk will initially be staffed by two new experienced hires, Christopher Horan and Graham Morrell. Originally from Boston, institutional sales representative, Dominic Lamanuzzi, will be relocating from the New York office to join Brian Coakley and Mike Hanley who have been with OTR for several years, covering the Boston institutional investment community.
