High Tech, High Touch
In a NYSE Magazine profile, new leaders stress balance between technology and human interaction for the NYSE’s next-generation market model.
Market Model
Though many of our markets operate electronically using cutting edge, ultrafast technology, we believe nothing can take the place of human judgment and accountability. It's this human connection that helps ensure our strength, creating orderly opens and closes, lower volatility, deeper liquidity and improved prices. For over 200 years, we've maintained a steadfast commitment to stronger, more orderly financial markets. And we intend to keep that tradition going for the next 200.
Only the NYSE Market Model combines four sources of liquidity
Designated Market Makers (DMMs)
DMMs are the only market makers obligated to dampen volatility and meet depth guidelines. Approximately 90% of their activity adds liquidity to our books.
Supplemental Liquidity Providers
SLPs are aggressive liquidity suppliers who complement and add competition to existing quote providers. About 89% of their activity adds liquidity to our books.
Floor Brokers
Floor Brokers are independent, electronically-connected agents with access to advanced algorithms. Approximately 61% of their activity adds liquidity to our book.
Other Market Members
A range of market makers and brokers represent orders through NYSE’s automated trading. Many of the market makers on Nasdaq are also active on the NYSE.
"Our high-tech, high touch model gives customers a lot more flexibility, visibility, and liquidity"
