Liquidnet, a technology-driven execution specialist, has launched a new trading solution, designed to support European buy side traders in accessing bilateral liquidity more effectively.
The initiative integrates access to bilateral liquidity from Liquidnet鈥檚 front-end application and through the firm鈥檚 liquidity-seeking algorithmic suite.
It is designed to provide a consolidated and controlled route to interact with leading liquidity providers.
The launch is supported by partnerships with multiple market makers such as XTX Markets.
Access via Liquidnet鈥檚 infrastructure will allow members to preserve execution quality, anonymity, and workflow efficiency, the firm says.
Bilateral liquidity has become increasingly important in European equity trading, and now accounts for almost 50 per cent of total market volumes, according to Liquidnet鈥檚 recent Liquidity Landscape report.
Access to bilateral liquidity is currently 鈥渇ragmented and opaque鈥�, the firm adds, noting that this new solution will provide a streamlined and transparent solution for navigating this space.
Gareth Exton, head of execution and quantitative services, EMEA, at Liquidnet states: 鈥淭he growth of bilateral trading is reshaping how liquidity is accessed in Europe. Our role is to support our members in responding to these structural changes.
鈥淏y integrating bilateral liquidity into both our front-end application and liquidity seeking algo suite, we鈥檙e giving our members the tools to access meaningful liquidity with confidence and control while helping the market making community to extend their reach and better control their risk.鈥�
Users of the solution will have access to anonymous access to aggregated liquidity streams, with configurability for tiered and member-specific feeds.
In addition, the solution provides monitoring and analytics to track fill rates, information leakage, and venue provider performance; as well as execution consulting services to help members determine optimal liquidity sources and timing.
