Wall Street knows how to give back.
On Tuesday, agency-only broker BTIG held its annual Commissions for Charity Day. This is an event where celebrity participants join BTIG sales traders as brokers in an effort to raise money for a variety of charities.
Clients who call into the broker to execute or place an order they often speak to a celebrity, such as an athlete, model or other famous person who provides them trading color and coverage. This year the broker raised over $5 million dollars for charity. Photos by Sara Jaye Weiss – STARTRAKS
