Morris & Co. to form Collins Commodities. In 1988, Collins merged with Rosenthal & Co - started in 1970 by Leslie Rosenthal - to form Rosenthal Collins Group.[1]
The company has 15 branches with 115 corresponding brokers, trading 70 million contracts a year. With more than 20,000 customer accounts, it manages $700 million.
On Oct. 15, it was announced that Rosenthal Collins and MG Financial LLC, a provider of online trading services in the foreign exchange (FX) market, announced had completed an exchange of equity interests in the two companies.
