Together S&P Global Market Intelligence InvestorAccess and Tradeweb connect market participants to create seamless workflow solutions to facilitate capital formation. Allocations flow seamlessly from bank syndicate desks to the buyside and downstream systems. This is achieved through a new FIX-based API that allows direct connection to the sellside's electronic orderbooks.

Buyside traders can access standardized deal terms submitted directly from syndicate banks, giving a clear view into all active deals, along with orderbook status and the latest pricing. Traders can also receive allocations as soon as syndicate banks release them, resulting in an efficient transition from primary to secondary markets. Deal terms are published directly to the trading platform and syndicate banks no longer need to rely on sales teams to forward terms to the buyside.

Connectivity works both ways. Buyside traders now have the capability to submit orders themselves, creating a definitive order record. Sales order duplication is eliminated and orderbooks are easier to reconcile and allocate. This reduces the amount of time needed to run a deal, speeds up pricing and reduces the risk of errors.

No duplicate orders

One 'golden copy' of the order from the buyside in the orderbook removes the need for duplicate sales orders, speeding up reconciliation and enabling deals to price sooner.

Increased efficiency

Buyside ownership of the order reduces risk of manual errors, speeds up deal execution and allows sellside sales to focus more on value-add conversations with the buyside.
