Goldman Sachs Electronic Trading aims to provide clients with the ability to efficiently access liquidity without having to change their trading style or add more steps to their workflow. By offering clients access to an unsurpassed pool of liquidity, we provide opportunities for price improvement and impact minimization.

Algorithmic Strategies

Goldman Sachs offers a global, multi-asset suite of algorithms, which includes equities, futures, synthetics and options. The goal of each algorithm is to seek optimal execution based on user-specified trading parameters. To do so, the algorithms access both displayed and non-displayed sources of liquidity via our SIGMA^SM smart router. Clients can also interact with non-displayed liquidity through SIGMA X (US, Japan, and Hong Kong) and SIGMA (EU). In addition, algorithmic trading gives clients access to a range of resources, including analytics, transaction cost analysis and execution strategy consulting.

SIGMA^SM & SIGMA X

GSET offers a global liquidity offering which consists of SIGMA X (US), SIGMA X (Asia), and SIGMA^SM (Europe).

Clients trading US Shares can cross orders with non-displayed liquidity in our SIGMA X crossing network. One of the largest Broker Dealer ATSs in the U.S.¹, SIGMA X allows customers to benefit from the aggregated source of liquidity that flows through the firm's infrastructure.

In Europe, we offer our SIGMA suite of products: liquidity-seeking algorithms, smart order routing and aggregation tools, sophisticated crossing logic and a comprehensive set of analytics. The SIGMA suite enables you to access multiple liquidity sources, both displayed and dark, with no change to your existing workflow.
