Triad Securities, an agency-only brokerage firm, has announced a ‘Triad Cares Trading Day’ on 20 April to help Covid-19 relief efforts. All of Triad’s trading commissions will be donated to a group of four leading charities that provide services to those impacted by the coronavirus crisis in the Greater New York City area.

Kevin Schultz, Triad’s chairman, says: “Our clients, employees, family and friends are all looking for a way to support their communities and the courageous first responders and front-line healthcare workers. We are pleased to do our part by giving our clients a simple and efficient way to give back during this critical time.” 

The local causes and charities that will receive donations include: NYC Health & Hospitals, which provides supplies to city hospital front-line workers; Healthcare Heroes, which supports the physical and emotional wellbeing of healthcare workers who are on the front lines; Meals on Wheels, which delivers meals to the home-bound elderly in NYC; and City Harvest, which is committed to rescuing and delivering food for 2.5 million New Yorkers.

Schultz continues: “We know this is an overwhelming time for many, and simply balancing our own work and family obligations can be a challenge. That’s why we tried to make this as easy as possible for traders to make a difference – just trade with us on Monday and your entire commission will go to support these organisations that are doing such critical work today.”
