Amex UTPAuction Market

Why the Amex Auction Market Specialists

The ability to trade large blocks of stock combined with the benefits of an auction-market environment enables investors to get the best possible price and realize greater liquidity. The agency-trading system of the American Stock Exchange and its strong collection of specialists and brokers provide a very competitive platform for trading Nasdaq and other market center stocks.

  • Size Markets
  • For institutional investors, it is often difficult to execute large block orders on Nasdaq and other markets. Amex specialists offer size at one price and at low cost.
  • Agency Executions
  • Nasdaq and other markets are increasingly shifting from principal to agency-based trading, while the Amex is—by its very nature—an agency-market model.
