We have achieved significant cost savings and improved execution performance, as traders can now focus on higher value-added tasks. In addition, end investors can be confident that we are performing well against our best execution policy and that we have rigorous processes in place.”

Mr. Hosokawa
Joint General Manager, Trading Department
SuMiTAM

A highly flexible protocol, shaped by our collaborative partnerships with clients and liquidity providers, and capable of solving a wide range of trading and execution challenges.

Portfolio Trading offers a highly efficient channel for sourcing liquidity from ETF market-makers, which are frequently pricing credit bonds in real-time to facilitate fixed-income ETF creation and redemption. Adopters of the protocol, BBVA AM’s clients were very satisfied with their ability to reduce their credit risk and costs, by switching efficiently out of their fixed-income ETFs, replacing them with a portfolio of credit bonds that more closely matched their requirements.

DWS Group improves credit trading performance with Portfolio Trading.

As early technology adopters, DWS has integrated data analysis and automation into its workflow, to better identify the best route to market for any individual trade on a consistent and systematic basis.

Having achieved high levels of automation for rates and FX, they turned their attention to credit to:

Trade quickly and at scale
Trade less-liquid credit instruments
Reduce workload and operational risk
Access data and analytics
