Wall Street bonuses may have fallen 8% in 2010 according to a survey conducted by the Office of the New York State Comptroller, but it’s no reflection on whether or not Wall Street plans to buy this year. There has been a good indication of growth in the financial technology space in Q1 of this year with a steady stream of global announcements for new offices and hires.
Here is a list of announcements we’ve seen come in from various financial technology companies ramping up for a promising 2011 thus far:
January

March

*With three weeks left in March, we will continue monitoring, so check back for updates.
It looks like financial technology firms have slotted 2011 as a year for growth and opportunity and we hope to see this continue for the remainder of the year. What do you think this list reflects, if anything, for IT spending this year?
