Our Process
Goldman Sachs Electronic Trading and our award-winning REDIPlus electronic trading platform demonstrate our leadership in pre-trade analytics, value-added execution services, algorithmic trading, portfolio trading solutions and post-trade analytics. Seamlessly integrated into our Prime Brokerage platform, these execution services optimize our clients trading across the investment cycle, while minimizing trading costs.

Through our REDIPlus Execution Management System, or via FIX connectivity, our clients have full access to Goldman Sachs’ multi-product algorithms, integrated portfolio and spread trading functionality and a suite of pre-trade and post-trade analytics as well as our clearing and Prime Brokerage services. Clients can take advantage of non-displayed liquidity through our global SIGMA liquidity strategy, including the record-breaking SIGMA X crossing network in the US.

Our Prime Brokerage clients trading through REDIPlus benefit from the synergies of our combined platform, achieving straight-through processing, real-time trade communication and intraday position management. Our platform gives clients quick access to liquidity, increased efficiency in processing, risk management analytics and timely performance reporting.

A higher level of service is delivered to our Prime Brokerage clients through a dedicated electronic trading coverage desk staffed with experienced professionals who provide initial training and ongoing service and support.

In addition to our electronic execution services and coverage model, Goldman Sachs offers access to skilled teams of full service execution traders. This team of professional traders provides value-added execution expertise and market color and assists our clients in managing complex trading situations.

With the combination of these two coverage models, Goldman Sachs delivers optimal execution services, market access and enhanced trading performance to our hedge fund clients.
