Bloomberg’s Listed Trading Solutions supply the optimal blend of data, integration, connectivity and ease of use to assist you in achieving your best execution practices. Optimize your equity trading workflow, increase global broker neutrality and connectivity, and assess your trading performance.

Today, we provide our clients with a global solution for listed trading markets, delivering a full trade life cycle workflow solution for listed equities, futures and options, including ETFs, derivatives and ADRs.

Liquidity discovery

Our global network of 3,700+ broker destinations helps traders and portfolio managers discover liquidity and run analytics to determine which venues can provide best execution. Filter relevant IOI content and set alerts on select names by integrating this content with Bloomberg lists and market data.

Execution analytics

By integrating Bloomberg’s market data and content with real-time and historical trade data, we can provide trade analytics that are integrated into your workflow. Use pre-trade tools like TCA to identify and address outlying orders that need attention. Then rely on BTCA for post-trade analytics and reports.

Electronic trading

For the buy side, Bloomberg’s execution management solution provides access to algos, dark pools, cash desks and ECNs. For futures, destinations include algos and direct market access (DMA), and for options, an integrated solution includes RFQ. Also: pairs trading, basket trading, a programmable API in Excel, real-time TCA, and access to our pioneering trade-cost model and the Bloomberg FIX network.

For the sell side, we offer an advanced multi-asset execution tool with access to client order flow, analytics on client orders and algo distribution.

Flexible trade automation

The proper trading process can change your returns. Bloomberg offers buy-side traders the ability to apply rules to order flow via Rule Builder (RBLD) and the Broker Wheel, assisting you in achieving your best execution policy goals in a productive, consistent and timely manner.
