The ability to process multiple asset classes is a vital component in a trading firm’s ability to reduce operating costs and meet the ever diversifying needs of its customers. Equally, a dynamic, firm-wide view of risk is only achievable if information on all trading activity is in one place. Fidessa provides a single integrated solution to address these needs and so enables firms to rationalise different systems, lower operating costs and improve overall efficiency.

Connectivity and Order Routing
Fidessa’s sophisticated multi-user, multi-asset order book system allows users to route flow internally to the most appropriate execution venue or desk. Fidessa connects to over 140 brokers, 600 buy-sides, 77 exchanges/networks supporting both cash and derivatives instruments whilst also providing derivatives order flow from its community of 8500 screens deployed worldwide.

One Integrated Industrial Strength Platform
Multiple asset trading on the Fidessa platform reduces the need for organisations to deploy and duplicate infrastructure, support staff and data, as well as reducing ownership costs and simplifying compliance with initiatives like MiFID.

Integrated Market Data View
Users are offered a single combined view of market data regardless of whether they trade cash, derivatives or both.

Advanced Trading Tools
Fidessa fully supports VWAP, Wave, Algorithmic and Basket trading as well as a newly patented graphical trading interface for taking advantage of fast moving markets, allowing combinations of equity and derivatives orders to be manipulated through one interface and then routed to the appropriate execution venue.
