March 05 2018 - 9:00AM
Mizuho Americas announces that Mizuho Electronic Trading (MET) took
top honors for Best New Trading Product at the Fund Technology
& WSL Awards 2018. The award recognizes those catering to asset
managers and institutional traders who have demonstrated
exceptional customer service and innovative product development.
“The advantage of introducing a new offering in a mature product
space is that we are not burdened by legacy technology,” said
Lindsey Burik, head of equity electronic trading at Mizuho
Americas. “We took a fresh look at electronic trading and came up
with a product that leverages real-time technology and our
enterprise-wide global reach. The result is a choice of nimble,
easily customizable algorithms that continuously optimize paths to
unique liquidity and help seek best execution. Our clients have
found MET to be especially strong with small and mid-cap
liquidity.”
Mizuho partnered with Clearpool, an electronic trading
technology provider, to give clients the ability to change, amend
and customize algorithms based on transactional data and trader
preferences. The partnership aims to give the buyside more control
and transparency over their algorithms by monitoring market
performance throughout the day, providing data to make assessments
and fine-tune algorithmic performance.
