Being able to accurately price the ETPs that we provide liquidity in is vital to the success of our business. Get it wrong, and we lose money or a trade goes to a competitor. It’s that simple. our experience in establishing the pricing relationship between the ETPs and the underlying assets, in a variety of market conditions, means we can offer competitive bid and ask prices, while still covering our trading costs and locking in transaction profit. We achieve this using pre-set hedging strategies, which (where possible) instantly reduce our market exposure, creating a market-neutral position. And it’s these hedging strategies that enable us to trade ETPs in such a way that our Net Trading Income is unaffected by any price movements of the underlying or related securities.
