Sales Trading
With almost 300 sales traders in nearly 30 countries, UBS has the resources and capabilities to meet specific requirements - be it a single point of contact for global securities or a local market specialist in each location. Your dedicated sales trader will stay in close contact throughout the execution process.
Optimized information
UBS sales trading teams bring together the latest market news, stock-specific intelligence and UBS activity, sifting through vast amounts of market noise to bring you the specific stories and information linked to the investments you are making and the stocks you hold. This highly-tailored service ensures you stay ahead of the game and can rapidly modify your investment decisions.
Confidential advice
Trades are communicated confidentially with advice given on options for execution. A full array of capital commitment, active trading and algorithmic execution is then utilized for a solution most appropriate to your requirements.
Active management
Throughout the lifetime of the order, your sales trader will continuously monitor the execution performance, adjusting instructions and maintaining regular dialogue with the execution trader. Feedback on execution progress and further options for execution are discussed with you on a continual basis to ensure the highest quality execution is achieved.
Proactive sourcing of liquidity
As a leading trader of secondary securities, UBS has exceptional insight into trading possibilities. Using detailed analysis of execution history and wide-ranging knowledge of client holdings, we can quickly identify liquidity sources without alerting the market to your trading intentions. Improvement of price is a direct outcome of increased liquidity. UBS's ability also results in order completion where full execution would not be possible if relying solely on exchange volume.
Leading technology
Our dedicated teams, proactive approach and commitment to the development of new products and tools aim to improve all aspects of the execution process for clients. One such recent innovation is our Global Noticeboard, which provides sales traders with real-time visibility of market flow, UBS positions, and where appropriate, our clients' current and historic activity (excluding Direct Execution trades).
"The amalgamation of such key information within an innovative front end ensures sales traders can tailor their calls and services to clients' needs. The Global Noticeboard brings instant focus to large orders where market impact needs to be reduced by finding additional off-market liquidity. The full force of the UBS trading floor can then be appropriately harnessed improving the execution price and ultimately increasing fund performance."
Scope
Your relationship with UBS gives you access to all the key equity trading instruments - cash equities, futures, options, exotics, ETFs, convertible bonds, swaps, CFDs.
