Barclays Launches BARX Book for Equities, a New Single-Dealer Platform

Barclays announced the launch of BARX Book for Equities, a new single-dealer platform developed in partnership with Nasdaq. Hosted by Nasdaq on its market technology infrastructure, BARX Book for Equities provides institutional clients access to the bank’s unique, principal liquidity for U.S.-listed single names and exchange-traded funds, and is Barclays’ most recent innovation for equities within BARX, the firm’s multi-asset electronic trading platform. BARX Book for Equities represents a new chapter in Barclays’ client liquidity strategy, as it allows more ways for clients to access the firm’s principal liquidity during regular market hours. Clients will be able to access BARX Book through a number of new order types and through the new BARX Book algo strategy.
