Ada, Mich., August 18, 2008 - GFT, worldwide leaders in online trading, announced the addition of Kathy Lien and Boris Schlossberg to its currency research division.

"I've had my eye on GFT for quite some time," said Lien. "Their phenomenal growth over the last 10 years is a testament to the strength of the company and the people who work there. I'm very excited to join the team."
Schlossberg echoed Lien's comments, adding that the pair has a lot of new ideas to help GFT and its customers.
