Eze Software Group Expands Partnership with Liquidnet

Eze Software Group, a premier provider of global investment technology, today announced that they have expanded their partnership with Liquidnet, the global institutional trading network, through an integration with Eze Software's award-winning execution management system, RealTick EMS. This integration provides RealTick EMS users with direct access to Liquidnet's trading network, delivering deep liquidity and investment opportunities for block trades with minimal market impact.

Through this integration, RealTick EMS users have complete control over their exposure and can select which orders on their RealTick trade blotter are exposed to Liquidnet's network on a trade-by-trade basis or based on pre-defined rules. The solution also supports dual commitments, enabling an order to be exposed simultaneously to Liquidnet and other execution venues.

"This integration is yet another way we deliver the best in execution services for our clients, offering a seamless and more efficient workflow for safe access to block trading," said Dan Rooney, Senior Managing Director for Eze Software Group. "We sought to introduce an innovative, secure, quick-to-deploy connection to Liquidnet's global trading network. This is a natural extension of the strong partnership we already have with Liquidnet, which includes a similar integration with our award-winning order management system, Eze OMS."

"We are excited to expand our partnership with Eze Software Group to now offer RealTick EMS clients connectivity with Liquidnet's global trading network, said Michael Pisani, Global Head of OMS/EMS Partner Relationships at Liquidnet. "We share Eze Software's commitment to providing the best trading experience to our clients. This integration provides RealTick EMS users the ability to maintain control over their order flow with increased transparency."

Eze Software Group's RealTick EMS is an award-winning, global execution platform providing comprehensive trading, data, and risk solutions. RealTick EMS features advanced multi-broker, global cross-asset execution capabilities with access to a network of more than 200 brokers worldwide.
