FlexTrade Systems announced a partnership with UBS Execution Hub, a global, cross-product outsourced execution platform for asset managers and hedge funds. The platform uses FlexTrade’s core multi-asset order management technology (FlexOMS), which has an open architecture and compliance reporting.
Execution quality is expected to be improved from the combination of FlexTrade’s open technology stack and the Hub’s proprietary automation technology to route orders to the best liquidity provider. By outsourcing trading operations to UBS Execution Hub, clients can reduce complexity and improve cost efficiency without compromising execution quality.
Chris Blackburn, chief operating officer at UBS Execution Hub, said in a statement: “Combining our own market-leading technology alongside FlexTrade’s track record with buy side trading desks provides the foundation to extend our global outsourced execution offering to additional client segments.”
Rajiv Kedia, principal, associate founder, and global head of Sell-Side Trading Solutions at FlexTrade Systems, said in a statement: “With a long history of providing best-in-class technology to the buy- and sell-side, FlexTrade is well positioned to offer our order/execution management technology to power outsourced dealing desks. Our partnership with UBS truly embraces our unique capabilities in terms of throughput, automation, and open architecture, ensuring UBS Execution Hub offers a premier, cross-asset, global service to their clients.”
