Broadridge launched Futures & Options SaaS platform
This news follows the launch of Broadridge’s Global Futures and Options Software-as-a-Service platform. The platform enhances Broadridge’s capabilities with new functionalities for global Futures and Options institutions, supporting operations from any jurisdiction and benefits from Broadridge’s multi-asset class trading and operations services.
The F&O platform simplifies trading activities while driving scale and growth for the listed futures and options marketplace. As a comprehensive solution tailored for futures commission merchants (FCMs) and agency brokers, the platform provides order and execution management capabilities, access to a diverse range of global listed derivatives markets along with comprehensive pre-trade risk management and middle office functionality.
Broadridge argues that sell-side firms have typically offered customized solutions for each workflow, resulting in fragmented experiences for buy-side clients and challenges for sell-side firms in gaining a comprehensive view of trading activity and risk management. The F&O platform addresses these issues globally by enabling sell-side firms to customize each workflow channel while ensuring a consistent experience for buy-side clients, regardless of asset type. The seamless integration of workflows and data coupled with rich automation is designed to not only reduce the burden related to regulatory changes but also allow for greater transparency and utilization of analytics.
Broadridge recently integrated its Futures and Options (F&O) Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Platform with Transaction Network Services (TNS). By integrating with TNS, which specializes in market connectivity, the newly enhanced F&O platform for the derivatives market will gain global exchange connectivity for order routing and market data access.
