TradingScreen Launches Trading Access to Eris Exchange
Buy-side Traders can now reach Eris Swap Futures through a Broker-neutral EMS
NEW YORK – November 5, 2014 – TradingScreen, the leading independent provider of liquidity, trading,
and investment technology via SaaS, today announced the addition of Eris Exchange as a destination.
Buy-side trading participants can now access margin efficient Eris Swap Futures traded on Eris
SwapBookTM through TradingScreen’s suite of offerings: TradeSmart® an award winning EMS,
TradeExchange® a SaaS Exchange Links offering, and TradeFast® a high speed API through
TradeNet®, a global network of brokers, liquidity providers and exchanges.
TradingScreen’s broker-neutral approach allows buy-side clients to route orders directly, either through
broker FIX infrastructures of their choice or by selecting the “sponsored access” model for electronic
execution of Eris Standards Swap Futures. Buy-side clients who prefer the flexibility and choice offered by
non-conflicted providers will find this offering a cornerstone of their “best execution” strategy.
TradingScreen is the first broker-independent EMS offering Eris products in the market.
“Morgan Stanley’s clients are very interested in the changing liquidity profile of the interest rate market.
Eris products for hedging and trading interest rate risk offer an additional tool for clients’ portfolio
management,” said Joseph Sarcona, Morgan Stanley’s head of distribution for electronic rates trading.
“Specifically, our clients using TradingScreen, can now access Eris futures on their multi-asset class
trading platform.”
“TradingScreen is already the leader in independent Centrally Cleared Derivatives trading and
aggregation for the buy-side as well as in algorithms across asset classes. The connection with Eris and
the quality of its products reinforce what we offer and provides the large buy-side clients with a unique set
of features that allow them to better handle a complex market infrastructure,” said Philippe Buhannic, CEO
of Trading Screen. “We are very happy to participate in the development of Eris for the buy-side.”
“Eris is proud to have its Swap Futures offered for trading through state-of-the-art TradingScreen
execution tools and connectivity,” said Neal Brady, CEO of Eris Exchange. “A major benefit is the access
provided by the wide network of broker-dealers offering TradingScreen, like our partner, Morgan Stanley,
which significantly expands our coverage footprint to the buy-side trading community.”
