Our Solutions

Outsourced Trading

Outsourced Trading is a service that assumes the execution responsibilities for an investment manager’s trading desk, either replacing or supplementing their trading team.

Our Outsourced Trading offering was created on the foundation of xBK, a BNY Mellon trading group, who services our internal investment management companies.

In 2018, we overhauled the existing buyside trading capabilities through investments in technology, analytics, reporting and established a dedicated data science team. These efforts have created a modern and scalable infrastructure and allowed us to enhance execution outcomes through automation, innovation and a systematic workflow.

Our team has significant expertise in supporting domestic and global trading across Equities, Fixed Income, Derivatives and Foreign Exchange. We understand the needs of investment managers and the complexity of buyside trading workflows.

*Disclaimer

Outsourced Trading is offered through BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC only to Institutional Clients in the US and select countries in EMEA where permitted by local law. Not all products and services are offered in all countries.
