Siena Holdings specializes in the design and development of electronic markets that allow participants to trade both commodities (e.g., emission credits) and non-commodities (e.g., media) in a formal two-sided electronic exchange setting.

Based on our patent-pending technology, our market designs promote informed price discovery, market liquidity, and economic efficiency.

Siena’s services generally involve a two-step process: (1) identifying existing impediments to the development of an efficient, liquid market for the trading of an asset and (2) developing proprietary technology to overcome those impediments.

Depending on the needs of the market, this two-step process may involve using advanced mathematics and economic thinking to develop optimization and pricing algorithms that facilitate the price discovery process. In all cases, however, our trading mechanisms are examined in a formal laboratory setting to ensure that the functionalities and market rules perform as desired.
