In global markets, buy-side and sell-side professionals strive to achieve the best execution across multiple asset classes. The Bloomberg Terminal provides trading solutions and sophisticated analytics to meet these needs, all on a single platform.
Bloomberg trade execution and order management solutions provide multi-asset order and execution management solutions and investment cycle analytics that enable buy-side and sell-side firms to turn their trade and order data into a competitive advantage. As a result, firms can create more efficient workflows, connect to the global capital markets, drive regulatory compliance and lower their total cost of ownership.
To be successful, global markets traders need access to fragmented pools of liquidity, an intuitive execution platform, predictive analytics, and transaction cost analysis (TCA) tools to assess strategy performance, both historically and in real time.
