Sophisticated Order Routing
CAPIS' Algorithmic Trading (CAT) strategies allow you to tailor your trades to a specific benchmark, risk, or cost objective. Our quantitative execution algorithms allow you to control the "big picture" while the system manages the details.

Advantages of using CAT strategies include:

  • Minimize market impact
  • Target various benchmarks
  • Attain anonymity
  • Find liquidity

Algorithmic trading takes a buy or sell order of a defined quantity and places it into a quantitative model that automatically generates the timing and size of orders based on the specific goals of the algorithms. This approach is typically oriented around trading to a specific benchmark, time or price.

CAPIS Algorithms include:

  • Nocturnal
  • Pacer
  • Float
  • Explorer
  • Reserve
  • VWAP
  • TWAP
  • Tempo
  • Liquidity Seeker
  • Implementation Shortfall (IS)
  • Participate
