UBS Investment Bank - Key Facts
Getting the best price as fast as possible is what defines quality execution. But there’s a lot that goes into achieving this. UBS Broker Services has the resources and commitment to give Broker-Dealers the greatest opportunity to get a price that’s at or better than the market quote for all of their orders.
Here's how we deliver:
Liquidity
- Sheer liquidity: UBS is the #1 combined share trader on the NYSE and NASDAQ, trading over 124 billion shares annually in the US.1 Not only does this give you excellent crossing opportunities, it also allows us to provide capital commitment and in-depth market color.
- Depth and breadth: We make markets in over 13,500 NASDAQ, NYSE, Bulletin Board, and Pink Sheet securities. Additionally, we provide direct electronic execution for international equities orders.
Technology
- Order routing: Our fully automated, intelligent order routing system, SmartEx®, leverages UBS’s robust liquidity and capital commitment.
- Institutional-grade electronic trading: For not-held orders, our Broker-Dealer clients have access to the same suite of UBS leading-edge algorithms used by our institutional trading clients and our own traders.
Service
- Pre-trade consultation: Although the majority of our Broker-Dealer clients electronically execute their orders with us, pre-trade consultation is always available from our dedicated full-service desk, just a phone call away.
- Cross-asset service desk: To maximize efficiency on your side and ours, all post-trade issues are handled by our cross-asset Broker-Dealer service desk. This team is nimble enough to handle any topic or surge in market activity - including US and international equities as well as options.
