THE TRADINGSCREEN MISSION

TradingScreen’s mission is to provide solutions to this fragmented marketplace by providing a proven trading and execution management infrastructure and a global network to enable both Buy-Side institutions and Sell-Side firms to connect to each other, yielding improved market access, reduced connectivity costs, increased trading efficiency and real Straight-Through-Processing (STP).

A MAJOR PROBLEM

Today’s fast paced global markets demand efficient electronic trading, execution and trade processing. Having the right technology in place is not only a requirement in providing demanding clients with best execution, but also the means to achieving a strategic competitive advantage.

As a result of the traditional organization of Sell-Side firms and the proliferation of exchanges, ATS’s and electronic communication networks (ECN’s), the global (listed and OTC) financial markets have become increasingly fragmented. This has forced institutional investors to operate in a highly segmented infrastructure in terms of connectivity and liquidity impacting negatively the quality of executions. Most recent market surveys indicate that large institutional investors are dissatisfied with the current offerings of single dealer systems, the “asset class specific” offerings of most multi-dealer electronic distribution systems, and the lack of progress in Straight-Through-Processing (STP).

Today with the rapid development of strategy trading, traders must deal with multiple price types from multiple sources to trade multiple instruments. Instead of benefiting from this additional information, the trader very often suffers from information overload.

TradingScreen solves this problem of information overload through advanced data normalization and a unique approach to data visualization. TradingScreen also provides investment managers with the trading tools they require to focus on creating value through improved execution, the largest network of destination spanning asset classes and geography as well as a fully integrated Straight-Through-Processing.
