Equity and Equity Option Capabilities

Sound Securities: State of the Art Technology with Personal Service

In delivering equity services, we exploit the latest technology for managing liquidity to provide superior execution and support.  We seamlessly complement our clients' investment strategies with our experience in dealing with market professionals. Without a large imbedded infrastructure, Sound can deliver quality execution to active traders with state of the art tools at a cost lower than the major broker-dealers, saving the ultimate client money and raising their return.

Intelligent, proactive electronic execution technology can maximize the performance of buy-side, sell-side, institutional market participants, corporations and other investment professionals. We employ order management systems that provide direct access to major sources of liquidity and  state-of-the-art order routing technologies linked to all major exchanges and primary ECN's. Speed, quantitative capabilities, algorithmic products, smart routing and integrated connectivity  are the mainstay of our business. Portfolio managers are interfaced to the trading desk with immediate access to all trade related information, basket/list trading, conditional orders, order slicing, and electronic execution. Sound Securities provides these execution capabilities for:

Traditional and Direct Access Order Routing

  • US Equities (Listed and OTC)
  • US Equity Options
  • Block Trade Executions
  • Computer-based VWAP, TWAP or Algorithmic Executions
  • Quantitative Trading Strategies

By providing a broker neutral platform with "pure agency based strategies", Sound Securities ensures that its customers are provided with the best possible execution. Customer orders are not hindered by order matching and market making activities and Sound will never be on the opposite side of any trades. By executing our equity trades on an agency-only basis, we remain free of conflict of interest and dedicated to ensuring that our clients receive the best price and best execution. We believe that few Wall Street firms are as focused on the execution business and hold to the principle that the customer is the architect of his/her own strategies and in control at all times.

Fixed Income - Taxable and Municipal Capabilities

Sound Securities: Exploiting Dealer Inventory Delivers Improved Execution

We have found major broker-dealers focus on the largest account and promote the highest margin products.  Due to the use of electronic interface, personal service has been de-emphasized with the result of overall lower quality of execution.  Additionally, with the reduction of dealer principal activity, there has been a decline in the individual dealer's competitiveness for a broad portfolio of securities.

Combined with tighter spreads, this factor has caused a decline in overall service and loss of focus across many dealers. The Sound advantage is to deploy a “broker neutral” platform and approach where “shopping” across all dealer inventories can deliver value added executions, thereby enabling a cost advantage. This approach is particularly useful in an over-the-counter market such as fixed income.

The Sound Approach:

  • Professionals with experience in most competitive global fixed income markets
  • “Broker Neutral” platform– shop “everyone's” inventory
  • Exploit inventory to find better prices for our clients
  • These opportunities exist across all fixed income markets
    • US Treasury
    • Agency and Corporate bonds
    • Municipal bonds
  • Our experience to this market across the dealer inventory has enabled Sound to deliver high quality execution across both taxable and tax-exempt securities, resulting in better prices for our clients
