Goldman Extends Coverage of Visual Structuring

Goldman Sachs is expanding the coverage of its Visual Structuring tool into crypto, equities and precious metals and launched web and Android versions in addition to the original iOS mobile application.

The tool, which was launched last year in FX options, is a patent-pending tool for indicative price discovery and trade idea generation, available through Goldman Sachs Marquee for institutional clients. The bank says it provides an intuitive way to quickly price variations, assess scenarios, run back-testing analysis, and collaborate with colleagues wherever they are, at their desktop or on-the-go.

It adds that the expansion of Visual Structuring not only opens up price discovery for a broader range of asset classes, but also unlocks the ability for clients to choose which way the tool best fits into their workflow. Additional features also include expanded use of machine learning technology for faster pricing of certain exotics, natural language inputs and group sharing.

“With availability on web, Android and iOS, Visual Structuring is now truly a multi-platform collaboration tool” says Chris Churchman, head of Goldman Sachs Marquee. “With enhanced sharing functionality across mobile and web, leading to more efficient trade execution, it transforms the workflows of our clients in a revolutionary way that both saves them time and helps them make better decisions. Expanding cross asset was always the intention, and we are delighted to be able to add equities, crypto and precious metals so quickly after the initial launch.”
