Fidessa is collaborating with Thomson Reuters to provide buy-side traders with access to new sources of block liquidity via the Autex service.
Russell Thornton, global head of buy-side trading solutions at Fidessa, said: "We take a proactive approach to alleviate the market pressures affecting our clients. By bringing all the tools our clients need into our trading platform, and intelligently tailoring the information, we have made it easier for them to access the broadest possible pool of liquidity and trade effectively in today's highly fragmented, low-volume environment."
Brennan Carley, global head of transactions and platforms at Thomson Reuters, added: "Fidessa now have seamless access to a global pool of liquidity contributed by some of the largest banks and broker dealers in the world. The Autex IOIs will allow buy-side traders to more effectively identify and participate in block liquidity."
