ANZ defies ‘white label’ trend with algo expansion

Instead of relying on large LPs, Australian bank aims to offer six new FX algos of its own by February

In recent years, an increasing number of large liquidity providers, including JP Morgan and XTX Markets, have begun “white labelling” their foreign exchange spot execution algorithms.

The regional bank can thus bring algorithmic trading strategies to its clients quickly and cheaply without having to build them up by itself. Crédit Agricole and
