SuperBlock™

The controlled environment to trade exceptionally large blocks


 

The SuperBlock initiative marks a natural evolution of our equities offering. By leveraging our extensive global buy-side community and expertise in facilitating block trades, this new solution suite aims to make it even easier to execute very large blocks of stock in a controlled environment.

It all starts with SuperBlock Matching, offering Members the choice to match with each other in a fundamentally different way, and enabling further control over the execution of their most difficult blocks.

Since launch over 70 Members have traded a SuperBlock Match, with over $2.06 billon traded globally.*

*30 April 2024 to 30 August 2024.

SuperBlock Matching

 

Problem​

Some Members often encountered the challenge of desiring to trade these sensitive, exceptionally large blocks while avoiding market impact, information leakage and trade failure

 

Solution​

SuperBlock Matching functions by facilitating trades of exceptionally large blocks within several tiers of size, matching counterparties who have agreed to a certain level of information give-up in order to execute the trade. Failure to execute the trade results in a temporary block from using the feature—ensuring that users are remaining honest and securing trust within the platform.

 

Outcome​

Members participate in exceptionally large trades through efficient workflows while knowing that their order is matched with credible counterparties using advanced technology, with human traders carefully managing the process to ensure safe and efficient execution.
