buy-side, sell-side and trading venues

Solutions for the buy-side

The buy-side of the trading world is no place for error or hesitation. When you’re placing orders worth millions, fractions of a second make the difference between profit and loss. That’s why our solutions are designed to provide top-class reliability and the lowest possible latency. You can be confident that your systems will remain responsive even when handling the highest volumes, so you can always react quickly to the markets. Our state-of-the-art multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) technology reduces latency on our systems even further.

Because you’re under constant pressure to find the best deal, you also need access to the widest possible community of trading counterparties. Our network offers unparalleled reach across the globe, helping you communicate with hundreds of sell-side firms and trading venues. Not only does this increase your chances of finding the right price, but helps you meet your best execution obligations.

With vast volumes of data moving around buy-side organisations, it’s more important than ever for managers to pay attention to compliance regulations. Our solutions are consistently ahead of the curve, anticipating regulation so that your organisation is always prepared. We offer some of the most robust recording systems available, and we’re pioneering technologies such as mobile phone recording, looking ahead to a future when mobile trading will become standard practice. And as trading environments become more fluid, our security solutions give managers complete visibility over their traders.

solutions for the sell-side

Trading on the sell-side is an intense job. Traders are used to speaking to multiple counterparties at the same time, timing each deal to perfection and getting the best return for their organisation. To work in this way, traders need technology they can depend on. That’s why all our solutions are designed to deliver the highest standards of performance and reliability. Our hybrid trading turrets, for example, seamlessly combine voice and data systems in a robust package, to give your traders the flexibility they need.

Of course, when you’re looking to make the best deal, it’s crucial to talk to the right people. You need access to the widest possible selection of buy-side firms and trading venues. Using our network, you benefit from true global reach, ultra-low latency dealing, and a community of hundreds of counterparties. We’re adding new partners all the time, building the most comprehensive ecosystem of trading organisations in the world, and integrating a full range of protocols to make ours the most accessible network available.

solutions for trading venues

For trading venues, exposure is the critical factor in success or failure. These organisations thrive when they have access to a large market of buy-side and sell-side firms. Our network gives trading venues unparalleled reach, with a global community of trading businesses on both the buy-side and the sell-side. Ultra-low latency dealing, coupled with our local expertise in almost every region, makes for an ideal trading environment.

We’re adding new partners to our network all the time, and our multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) network reduces latency even further. We’re also working with leading MTFs and exchanges to optimise the network for their needs.
