How does Clear Street improve capital efficiency for prop desks?

Through continuous netting and real-time portfolio margining, collateral is freed intraday so teams can redeploy capital without waiting for end-of-day cycles.

What execution options are best for prop strategies?

Many groups tend to combine DMA/smart order routing and our Fox River Algos for low-impact participation, with 24x6 high-touch support for blocks, special situations and event-driven flows. However, it is important to note that the best options for a given trade depend on the details of a given strategy, current market conditions and a host of other factors, and the foregoing is not trading or investing advice.
