Barclays has been awarded Electronic Platform of the Year by
GlobalCapital at the publication’s Americas Derivatives annual
awards. This is the first time Barclays has received this
accolade.
“We are proud to be recognized with this award, which speaks to
the investments we’ve made over the past year in strengthening our
electronic trading platform for clients,” said Nas Al-Khudairi,
Global Head of Electronic Trading at Barclays. “We are excited
about the strong momentum we have across our global electronic
trading franchise, and we look forward to continuing to innovate
and deliver a better trading experience for our clients’ evolving
needs.”
According to GlobalCapital, “The awards aim to honor the firms
that innovate, grow and improve derivatives markets in the
Americas. Each award is judged taking into account nominees’
innovations in product and service, commitments to new markets,
improvements in efficiency, liquidity and market stability, as well
as client guidance.”
This month, Barclays announced the launch of its newly
integrated, cross-asset electronic trading platform across
Equities, Fixed Income, Futures, and FX. The unified offering will
be represented under one name, BARX, with numerous e-trading
solutions and innovations available to clients.
The BARX platform will: (1) harness Barclays’ data science
capabilities to deliver better trade analytics, (2) provide deep
pools of liquidity for each asset class and offer innovative
solutions for accessing liquidity, and (3) increase transparency
and drive greater control and visibility in electronic trading for
clients.
The awards were presented on May 31 at a gala dinner at the
Metropolitan Club in New York.
