Perhaps the most difficult part of trading large blocks is to identify, contact and negotiate size with a willing counterparty. Until now, few tools were available to seamlessly facilitate block trading. SS&C’s BlockTalkSM Liquidity Alert System was developed to fill this void. BlockTalk allows the block trader to broadcast alerts to trusted counterparties and customers, thereby allowing the trader to not only attract liquidity, but also to significantly improve matching rates. In today’s fragmented market, BlockTalk helps to seek out, negotiate and fulfil large positions without the need to shop multiple venues and aggregate multiple small trades.

Benefits

Trade Smart - BlockTalk allows the block trader to identify, negotiate and fulfil large positions in a timely and efficient manner. This allows your firm to transact much larger positions with fewer wasted resources.

Operations - BlockTalk is provided as a web-based or customer-hosted service. Let SS&C operate BlockTalk for you, or have your IT department do it. SS&C can even white-label BlockTalk for your specific firm and customer base.

Multiple Asset Classes/Multiple Liquidity Pools - BlockTalk supports Equities today and is extensible to other asset classes, including options and futures. BlockTalk can be used to enhance liquidity discovery on the NYSE, ATS and dark liquidity pools. BlockTalk may also be extended to any trading venue, from oil futures to FX trading.

Flexibility - BlockTalk allows each user to set up their own custom preferences. Users can distribute liquidity alerts to multiple individuals and groups with the touch of a button.

Audit and Compliance - All BlockTalk messages are maintained in an industry-standard file format (RFC 2822). This enables compliance to exchange rules while also providing an invaluable tool when resolving any conflicts between buyers and sellers.

Cost Effective - SS&C provides multiple delivery options and volume discounts, providing benefits to both the large and small firm. SS&C can get you online in as little as 24 hours for our web-based solution.
