As the only listed securities company in Suzhou, we need technology that can simplify and automate workflows to boost efficiency and scale our business. We chose the Fidessa trading platform as it is the market leader in the equities space and the top choice for sell-side institutions.
Effective business growth requires technology that can simplify workflows, and boost efficiency. For Peel Hunt, ION has been a trusted partner in this area for nearly two decades. The Fidessa Trading Platform is the benchmark in the equities space and the top choice for sell-side institutions. As we enter our next phase of growth, ION remains our preferred partner.
We’ve been partnering with the ION team since 2006 for our global commodities franchise and they were the logical choice for us as we expand into equities market making. The ION Fidessa trading platform is a market leader in the equities space and is very much the platform of choice for the industry.
Our clients want faster, more reliable access to international capital markets. We chose the ION Fidessa solution because it gives us the advanced trading workflow, high performance, and reliability at scale that we need.
Fidessa’s approach to SOR made them stand out from the crowd this year. Liquidity capture is obviously key, but as the buy side is looking for more from their sell-side electronic desks, the importance of having a highly flexible workflow that manages the parent order over the duration of its life is an element that is often overlooked.
Fidessa has long established itself as the leading supplier of workflow automation systems to banks and brokers. More recently, the firm has invested in its derivatives technology to good effect. The Sell-side Trading System of the Year award is always hotly contested, and Fidessa’s victory in 2018 recognizes the great strides the vendor has made in derivatives execution and order management technology.
