Leverage FIX to create a more efcient post-trade process
Electronic trading across multiple asset classes and venues creates a unique opportunity orbuy- and sell-side rms to re-evaluate their current workfow. NYSE Technologies leverages it
15+ years o experience with FIX to help manage our clients’ post-trade allocation process.
NYSE Technologies has long oered FIX Allocation Services as part o its portolio, but
recently has seen increased demand. In 2010, the Marketplace community saw an uptick o
70% o buy-side rms turning to FIX to manage their post-trade allocations. These rms are
thinking outside-the-box in order to gain a competitive advantage.
Customer Challenges
Cumbersome Process
Today’s trading systems are lightning ast
and move in micro-seconds. However, post-
trade settlement still takes several days to
complete and is a very manual process.Risk o Error
Since unctions like allocations oten occur
in the Middle Oce, allocation errors are
oten ound late in the settlement process.
This potentially makes nal settlement occur
on the last possible day.
New Asset Classes Not Fully Supported
As rms race to support the need or better
and aster multi-asset trading environments,
post-trade services that are relied on to
allocate and conrm trades with brokers and
banks haven’t kept up.
Cost Prohibitive
Firms must outsource their post-trade alloca-
tions to third party rms, which can become
a costly endeavor.
Solution Benefts

integrated into many OMS/EMSs via the

manual workfows.

By moving the allocation process to the ro
oce, errors related to allocations can be
recognized earlier in the settlement proces
This mitigates risk as the trade moves
through the settlement process.
