Insights
Equity automation improves performance and strengthens best execution
A new Bloomberg study shows that U.S. and European equity trading desks using Rule Builder (RBLD), our multi-asset automated trading solution, saw an overall performance increase of 30% or more.
Orders using RBLD outperformed manual orders by 38% for US equity trades and by 68% for European equity trades.
Building an e-trading solution for deposits with FXGO
BNPP AM trades billions of euros in term deposits across different funds every day. However, its manual deposit trading process was convoluted, time consuming and posed operational risks. Bloomberg integrated its FXGO platform with BNPP AM’s third-party order management system, creating a solicited workflow for placing and booking deposit trades.
Optimizing time-sensitive trading using automation
The Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation (the Guardians), which manages the NZ Super Fund, invests in a range of government securities across Asia, Europe and America. Guardians collaborated with Bloomberg to adopt a new version of Rule Builder (RBLD) that incorporated timed release and order rerun capabilities.
