Moneyline Telerate Center for Financial Markets at the University of Virginia
 

In a global economy revolutionized by high-end computer power, the most advanced data systems and trading technologies once belonged solely to the world’s elite brokerage firms and a select handful of business schools. With the opening of the Moneyline Telerate Center for Financial Markets at the University of Virginia, the McIntire School joined the global elite. 

Through the combined efforts of many dedicated friends and alumni, the Center gives students and faculty access to the most sophisticated real-time data, analytical tools, and trading technologies available anywhere.

Spectacular Technological Environment

The Moneyline Telerate Center consists of two rooms built through the contributions of McIntire alumni.

The Julian H. Robertson, Jr. Capital Markets Room ,visible through glass walls on the lower level of Rouss Hall, serves as a state-of-the-art experiential learning environment for students and a virtual research laboratory for faculty. Major components include:
