The changes in the Fixed Income landscape and the impact of regulations are driving the need for more flexible and efficient technology. Existing Fixed Income solutions are unable to cope with the new requirements and proving to be too expensive to be viable for current and future needs.
Available as a software-only or a fully managed solution, hosted by smartTrade, smart-FI delivers:
- Connectivity to SEFs and inter-dealer markets, enabling organisations to reduce connectivity costs.
- Aggregation, providing a global view of liquidity that integrates the reference price, enabling organisations to manage the full lifecycle of orders. Algos can also be added and customised dynamically, using the built-in algo engine.
- Negotiation enabling organisations to control pricing to their customers in real time, providing auto quoting and hedging mechanisms to automate their flows.
- Client distribution via multi-dealer platforms or a direct API, enabling organisations to manage all their clients through a single application.
- A trading user interface for viewing the aggregated liquidity, controlling their contributions and handling their client requests through a single UI.
