A New Single-Dealer Platforms White Paper

The next frontier in electronic trading

With single-dealer channels becoming more popular than multi-dealer channels in the OTC markets, banks need to understand the technical and business challenges of building a successful Single-Dealer Platform to harmonise and optimise their e-trading offerings

Modern capital markets span a huge range of trading activities, carried out in a multitude of ways across a host of trading venues. As electronic trading has swept through asset class after asset class, the variety and complexity of these activities have mushroomed.

It is the responsibility of sell-side institutions to manage this complexity and present pricing, liquidity and related content to the buy side in a useful and accessible way.  Success in achieving this has increasingly become a vital competitive factor for many banks. In particular, firms such as Barclays Capital and Deutsche Bank have benefitted from the skill with which they have addressed this in their BARX and Autobahn family of offerings, respectively.

We have published a white paper that discusses the history and evolution of single-dealer platforms, as well as the benefits an SDP can bring to a bank. Authored by Paul Caplin, the paper discusses the current trends in e-trading activities, including supporting data. It discusses the various ways in which an SDP can be built and covers some of the key areas of active innovation within the banks that are leading the way in online e-commerce.
