In 2001, RGM President Robbie Robinette, Richard Gorelick and Mark Melton founded RGM, initially setting up business operations in Robinette’s Austin, Texas living room. The company commenced trading in December of that year, and in early 2002 moved into more traditional office space down the street in the Tarrytown neighborhood of Austin.
The company has gradually expanded its trading operations and began automated trading of NASDAQ equities in 2001. Over the next years, the company added NYSE stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), futures and currencies to its trading mix.
In June 2005, the company moved its headquarters to a building in downtown Austin to accommodate its growing team.[4] In October 2005, the company established a UK affiliate and opened its London office to manage its European trading.
In January of 2008, growth private equity and buyout firm, TA Associates, announced it had completed a minority equity investment in RGM Advisors, LLC (RGM). The amount and terms of the investment were not disclosed.[5]
