Investec Bank, a leading international financial services provider, has launched its new electronic trading platform, ZebrA-X.
The firm says the platform is designed to create a distinct and high value offering in the market and meet the evolving needs of clients seeking rapid and efficient execution in the rapidly evolving electronic trading landscape.
ZebrA-X aims to provide clients with access to a comprehensive suite of benchmark, liquidity-seeking algorithms, underpinned by Investec’s consultative execution team, connecting with a range of liquidity providers and venues.
The company says the optimised solution is designed to facilitate the efficient execution of block trades and offers the ability to internalise institutional and retail order flow, helping to reduce pre and post-trade signalling.
Dominic Lowres, head of Electronic Trading and Execution Strategy, comments: “The ZebrA-X dark algorithm, along with Zebra dark lit strategies, Zebra Block and the wheel solution, as well as benchmark strategies, allow them to execute trades efficiently, with a large amount of configuration choices.
“We anticipate a diverse stream of unique flows into ZebrA-X which will benefit all types of clients who will benefit from deep mid-price resident liquidity. We believe this approach delivers long-term value to clients and will help enhance overall levels of execution quality.”
Clive Murray, head of Equities, adds: “Bespoke execution consultancy is at the heart of our model, and ZebrA-X not only complements our existing high-touch trading solutions but also provides in-depth execution analysis that enhances our relationships with clients, helping to deliver an out of the ordinary level of service to them.”
