Scope - BlockTalkPlus allows the block trader to identify, negotiate and fulfil large positions in a timely and efficient manner by tapping into the largest dark pool of liquidity, the NYSE. This allows your firm to reach and transact much larger positions, with fewer wasted resources, by extending the information flow to a community consisting of NYSE floor traders, off-floor venues and customers.

Operations - BlockTalkPlus is provided as both a web-based and customer-hosted service. Let SS&C operate BlockTalkPlus for you and reach an ever-increasing pool of liquidity.

Multiple Asset Classes/Multiple Liquidity Pools - BlockTalkPlus supports equities, options and futures. BlockTalkPlus can be used to enhance liquidity discovery on the NYSE, ATS, and dark liquidity pools. BlockTalkPlus may also be extended to any trading venue, from oil futures to FX trading.

Flexibility - BlockTalkPlus allows each user to set up their own custom preferences. Users can anonymously distribute liquidity alerts to multiple individuals and groups with the touch of a button. Once a counterparty is discovered and the trade is negotiated, the user can then release their identity to fulfil the trade.

Audit and Compliance - All BlockTalkPlus messages are maintained in an industry-standard file format (RFC 2822). This not only enables compliance to exchange rules, but also acts as an invaluable tool in 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 hosted solution.

Branding - SS&C can provide your firm’s own unique branding and logo. All alerts sent to your sponsored customers will include your unique message.
