Execution specialist Liquidnet has integrated its proprietary trading analytics into its equities trading application for EMEA members. The company aims to provide data analytics to high-touch and hard-to-trade order flows.
Traders will be able to access tailored pre- and post-trade analytics by using the company’s analytical solution, Investment Analytics. These will be delivered through real-time alerts and visualisations.
Through the update, users do not have to leave the equities trading application to gain further insight into their trades. The platform already provides real-time, exception-based stock alerts relating to price and volume, outlier monitoring and single stock analysis.
Increasing the amount of data available to clients will allow them to make more informed decisions around trades, along with increasing the efficiency of portfolio managers’ processes, Liquidnet claims.
Rob Crabston, global head of equities product, says: “We are bringing these analytics to the dealer’s desktop to support the far more manual, specialised, and nuanced trading of complex blocks. We seek to provide our community with intuitive alerts that fit the decision making of human traders as opposed to machines, moving beyond the market standard of simple quantitative alerts operating in a ‘black box’ environment.”
Chris Jackson, head of equities for EMEA and global head of equities strategy, adds: “One of the biggest challenges facing buy-side dealing desks and sales traders is collecting, filtering and re-distributing market insights appropriately to their portfolio managers. Traders face more data, less time to absorb it, as well as greater pressure to add value to the investment process. These enhancements are part of the solution, providing actionable insights within one click.”
