E-commerce: Renewing the Focus on Sellside Client-centric Thinking
In 2014, the most successful sellside e-commerce offerings are cross-channel, wherein buyside clients can choose a communication channel to use depending on the trading activity. The latest developments in sellside e-commerce offerings are the growing use of data science, which is being used to provide competitive advantages in the sellside e-commerce space. Improvements in the user experience design of single-dealer platforms were the dominant initiatives across sellside e-commerce offerings in 2013. In 2014, sophisticated use by banks of data science technology is catching up with the general commercial retail usage of the technology to generate competitive advantages in the capital markets.
GreySpark Partners believes that a successful sellside capital markets e-commerce offering covers all electronic channels and the entirety of the trading lifecycle. Variation in the maturity of buyside firms to electronically interact with capital markets as well as differences in the electronification of trading from one asset class to the next makes trade execution through every e-channel relevant. In addition to trade execution, buyside firms now expect the sellside to electronically provide them with pre- and post-trade services.
The delivery of a consistent, comprehensive cross-channel service is a complex task. Banks rationalise their presence on e-channels and reduce excess capacity to focus efforts and spend on services that create the greatest value. This report identifies opportunities for the sellside to prioritise improvements in their e-commerce offerings to service buyside demand. The report also provides banks with a framework they can use to prioritise investments in their franchises depending on respective client bases and technological capabilities.
