Rick Steves

“We have modernized our global FX offering and created a strong platform for our global FX business with a streamlined user experience.”

Scotiabank has launched a series of electronic trading tools to deliver high-quality execution to Equities, Fixed Income, and FX clients, including AI-powered analytics.

ScotiaRED, the trading tools package, provides global Equities clients access to the firm’s execution technology and in-depth market structure analysis, including new customizable trading algorithms, data-driven insights, and access to the Bank’s liquidity.

Jake Lawrence, Group Head and CEO, Global Banking and Markets, Scotiabank, commented: “ScotiaRED is another example of Scotiabank’s commitment to provide our clients with innovative market-leading products. This next generation of electronic trading tools enhances performance and provides a superior client experience across our Americas footprint.”

“We have modernized our global FX offering and created a strong platform for our global FX business with a streamlined user experience. Combined with expert local knowledge and on-shore liquidity, this new suite of electronic trading tools enables us to deliver real-time trading at competitive prices for our Americas clients”, Mr. Lawrence added.

ScotiaRED is part of Scotiabank’s ongoing investment to establish the Bank not only as a leading bank in the Americas but an emerging world-class electronic trading provider.

With a team of over 90,000 employees and assets of approximately $1.2 trillion (as at July 31, 2021), Scotiabank trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange.

For equities trading, Scotiabank is uniquely positioned in the Americas and provides a seamless, single-ticket experience across the US, Canada, and Latin America. In the US, the ScotiaRED next-gen algorithms offer institutional clients the ability to interact directly with the broad liquidity of the Bank.

In Canada, ScotiaRED provides market participants with reliable and easy-to-use solutions with a distinct and customizable edge. In Latin America, the bank leverages our on-the-ground presence for access to liquidity and expert knowledge of local market structure, to provide a truly differentiated approach.

Commercial, Corporate and Institutional clients have access to real-time foreign exchange, no matter the time of day. ScotiaRED’s functionality and streamlined user experience offer new turbo-charged tools to quote, book, and settle foreign exchange transactions.

The service also provides fixed income capabilities as ScotiaRED enhances workflow, communication, and pricing – with data-driven insights and ideas from Scotiabank’s team.

FIA urges CFTC to regulate use cases rather than AI itself

“We urge the CFTC to refrain from crafting new regulations that generally regulate AI because this approach presents certain well-known pitfalls. By approaching the issue from the perspective of AI as a technology, rather than the use case for the technology, corresponding regulations would likely necessitate a definition of AI. We anticipate that any attempt to properly define AI would be very challenging and require considerable resources.”
