MARKET LIQUIDITY SOLUTIONS

ASSESSING LIQUIDITY. IDENTIFYING EXECUTION ROUTES.

Market Liquidity Solutions ATIB

WHEN EXECUTION IS MORE DIFFICULT

A financial instrument may have an identifiable value without having sufficient liquidity for a transaction to be completed efficiently.

Trading activity may be limited, quoted prices may vary, available transaction sizes may be small or suitable buyers and sellers may be difficult to identify. A significant order may also affect the price or reveal the client’s intentions to the market.

ATIB’s Market Liquidity Solutions capability is intended for eligible institutions, issuers and professional investors seeking to understand the liquidity environment, assess available execution routes and coordinate transactions through appropriate markets and counterparties.

The objective is to improve visibility and support disciplined decision-making. ATIB does not guarantee that sufficient liquidity, an acceptable price or a willing counterparty will be available.

LIQUIDITY & EXECUTION CAPABILITIES

ATIB may help eligible institutional and professional clients understand prevailing liquidity conditions and identify an appropriate route towards execution.

LIQUIDITY ASSESSMENT

Consider trading volumes, available buyers and sellers, quoted prices, bid–offer spreads, transaction size, settlement requirements and the likely market effect of the proposed transaction.

EXECUTION-ROUTE COORDINATION

Assess suitable exchanges, approved brokers or dealers, bilateral counterparties, over-the-counter markets and other available institutional execution channels.

LARGER & LESS-LIQUID TRANSACTIONS

Consider how transaction size, urgency, confidentiality, market depth and potential price impact may influence the way a significant position is acquired or reduced.

PRICING & MARKET INFORMATION

Evaluate available quotations, comparable transactions, valuation indicators, quoted size, transaction costs and changes in counterparty interest or market conditions.

DISCIPLINED EXECUTION IN LESS-LIQUID MARKETS

A significant or less-liquid transaction requires a clear understanding of what can realistically be executed under prevailing market conditions.

  • Current liquidity assessed before execution

  • Transaction size considered against available market depth

  • Potential price and market impact evaluated

  • Suitable counterparties and execution channels identified

  • Settlement, confidentiality and timing requirements considered

  • Clear recognition that price and completion cannot be guaranteed

Depending on the transaction, execution may be considered in stages, through an institutional counterparty or through another suitable market channel. No strategy can remove liquidity, valuation, settlement or counterparty risk. Every transaction remains subject to client instruction, satisfactory due diligence, documentation, internal approval, suitable counterparties and prevailing market conditions.

LIQUIDITY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BEFORE CAPITAL IS COMMITTED

Liquidity risk arises when a position cannot be purchased, sold or transferred within the required timeframe without a material effect on price.

This capability may be relevant to financial institutions, asset managers, investment funds, pension funds, insurers, family offices, investment companies, corporates managing strategic securities positions, public-sector issuers and other eligible professional counterparties.

Broader securities access may be addressed through Capital Markets. Transactions involving bonds or treasury instruments may require Fixed Income & Money Markets, while organisational cash and currency requirements belong under Treasury & Liquidity Solutions.
