Execution

In today’s global markets, buy- and sell-side professionals demand the best execution across multiple asset classes.
That means access to fragmented pools of liquidity, predictive analytics and the ability to assess strategy performance—historically and in real-time. The Bloomberg Professional service provides sales and trading solutions to meet these needs, all on a single platform.

EQUITIES, FUTURES, OPTIONS & ETFs

From a single, customizable workspace, you can manage equities, futures, options and ETF trades. Access pre-trade analytics to select and trade single and basket orders from any order management system; choose the best broker for your trading strategy with true broker neutrality; route to the execution venue of your choice; and analyze execution performance across all venues in real time.

IB Dealing allows you to negotiate trades with multiple counterparties, parse those conversations into FXGO tickets and then receive the captured trades into your risk management and back office systems.

FIXED INCOME

Bloomberg’s fixed income trading (FIT) platform provides liquidity, trading functionality and straight-through processing across all fixed income asset classes, including cash bonds, repo, money markets, interest-rate and credit derivatives, mortgages and municipal bonds.

FIT links all available fixed income electronic trading products into one portal and provides multi-dealer, executable composite pricing, so you can stage, monitor, trade and allocate trades through a single function on the Bloomberg terminal.

FIT is divided into a control area and a market monitor section. You can use the control area to load a market page and then choose a tab to display a security type on the market monitor. On the market monitor, you can watch rates and click a bid or ask price to launch a trade ticket.

The market monitor section allows you to watch the current bid and ask prices for a type of security within your chosen market, so you can follow market movements and identify the rates at which you want to trade. You can click a price or enable a multi-leg deal to submit a trade ticket to your chosen dealers.
