Trading & Execution
Improve execution capability across technology, workflow, liquidity and controls.
Overview
What this means for your business.
Execution capability connects the desk's objectives with liquidity access, routing, algorithm behaviour and the workflow around orders.
Capmark works with trading, technology and control teams to develop electronic execution, improve order workflows and assess execution quality.
Our work covers the front office and its immediate controls. Wider platform transformation and post-trade operations are supported by our related markets capabilities.
What we do
The expertise we bring.
We build and improve electronic trading capability: market connectivity, order handling and the workflow that moves flow from client to venue. The work runs through our Electronic & Algorithmic Trading practice and is delivered alongside the desk, against live flow.
An algo estate needs an inventory, a testing and approval path, and monitoring that catches drift in behaviour. We set these up as working routines the desk operates, with documentation that reflects how each algorithm actually behaves in production.
We measure execution outcomes at the level where they are decided — venue, order type, time of day, algorithm — and use the results to improve routing logic, venue selection and broker arrangements. Measurement continues after the change, so the improvement stays visible.
Pre-trade limits, price and fat-finger checks, kill functionality and error handling, designed with the desk so they protect the business without slowing it. Delivered with our Best Execution & Trading Controls practice, with calibration the desk and compliance both trust.
The path from client enquiry to filled order crosses sales, trading and support systems. We map it, remove the manual steps and re-keying, and rebuild the workflow so the desk handles more flow with the same people.
What to expect
A team shaped around the work.
The work is done at the desk, with the people who trade and support the flow. Analysis is grounded in your own execution data, and changes are made in increments the desk can absorb during trading — connectivity, workflow and controls are adjusted and measured step by step rather than switched over at once. The team that scopes the work delivers it.
Engagements range from a focused execution-quality review to the build-out of a full electronic trading capability.
