Price
Is price the driving factor of your trade?
- 1.1Put the street into competition on a single name or in a list.
- 1.2When the market competes, pricing can improve.
Speed
Want to choose your counterparty to expedite the efficiency of settlement?
- 2.1Execute many trades faster than you can over chat or voice – BWICs & OWICs often take hours and executing one by one in a fast-moving market can be inefficient.
- 2.2Direct your trading flow to the dealer or dealers of your choice on Octaura especially when you need to execute quickly.
Being able to trade electronically has never been more integral to helping clients and dealers efficiently and effectively execute their syndicated loan and CLO trading strategies"
