How our data works for the Buy-Side
The institutional buy-side faces heightened competition, shrinking margins, and regulatory scrutiny, leading to a greater focus on increased efficiencies across entire organisations. BMLL supports the institutional buy-side by providing fully managed datasets and applications, enabling firms to generate increased alpha, minimise execution costs, improve client servicing, and effectively respond to evolving regulatory requirements.
INSTITUTIONAL BUY-SIDE BMLL USE CASES
- Enhance Execution Analytics & TCA - Enhance internal and client-facing reporting by blending internal data with full-depth BMLL data to support accurate performance calculation and attribution. Create custom execution analytics reports using BMLL’s fully managed datasets and applications, while maintaining full data governance.
- Improve Broker & Algo Benchmarking - Optimise broker algo selection by combining the granularity of BMLL data and scalable cloud-hosted tooling. Fine-tune parameters with consistent cross-algo comparisons, using the same normalised historical market data across markets and periods.
- Capitalise on Liquidity Profiling - Improve trading performance by utilising a consistent and accurate record of quotes and trades across all trading venues and mechanisms. Make accurate market impact estimates, especially for trades sweeping multiple levels of the order book or in fragmented markets where hidden liquidity matters.
- Leverage Microstructure Research - Incorporate microstructure insights to refine factor models, develop short-term predictive signals for optimal trade timing, and support rebalancing decisions to minimise execution costs. Enable portfolio managers to better plan rebalancing trades by understanding nuances in order book behaviour, ensuring that rebalancing does not erode portfolio value.
