Testimonials - What Our Clients Say

Unlocking latent liquidity and executing multiple days’ ADV is essential to achieving our investment objectives. We welcome Appital’s innovative peer to peer access of hard-to-find liquidity and executing large volumes using Appital Turquoise BookBuilder™ without market impact or the risk of price erosion. Appital’s intuitive interface and integration made adoption easy.
Emil Framnes
Emil Framnes
Global Head of Trading & Transition Norges Bank
Bookbuilding workflows are manual and opaque, adding risk to the largest orders we manage. The industry needs a more efficient way to discover liquidity, particularly in highly illiquid stocks. Appital offers the buy-side community an innovative way to interact with like-minded institutions in the bookbuilding distribution and price formation process.
Paul Squires
Paul Squires
Head of Trading EMEA & APAC Equities Invesco
Appital is an innovative company which has the potential to solve inefficiencies in accessing significant volume in less liquid securities. What’s more, the platform gives the buyside greater control and transparency over their bookbuilding process.
