Around 30 staff at the high-frequency trading firm's Mayfair offices will relocate to either Ireland, Asia or the US

Virtu Financial, one of the world's largest high-frequency trading and marketmaking firms, is to shut its London office and run all of its European operations from Ireland, Financial New has learnt.
