S3 Partners (S3) has partnered with LiquidityBook to expand S3’s services and distribution network to more buy- and sell-side firms, including prime brokers and lending agents.
As part of the mandate, S3’s Blacklight order management system (OMS) will now be available through LiquidityBook, enabling users to action rates across their prime brokers.
With S3 Blacklight, users can request financing rate relief across their entire portfolio.
The addition of LiquidityBook expands S3’s roster of distribution partners, including Bloomberg, Snowflake, AWS, FactSet, and Refinitiv.
Commenting on the new mandate, James Baxter, head of global buy-side sales at LiquidityBook, says: “S3’s powerful Blacklight financing OMS will enable LiquidityBook clients to easily renegotiate rates across their portfolios through real-time, actionable data on rates and squeezes.
“We are excited to grow this partnership and further boost the capabilities of both companies’ solutions, better serving our clients and helping them secure the best rates possible.”
Bob Sloan, managing partner and CEO of S3, comments: “Through this partnership, LiquidityBook users will now have the added bonus of being able to quickly request financing relief through Blacklight, thanks to real-time visibility into the best available rates. We look forward to further developing this partnership and flourishing together.”
