Free Up Trader Time with New Automated Trading Functionality
As firms continue to look for ways to optimize time-consuming workflows in a competitive market, automated trading offers a powerful solution. Trade automation frees up trader time to focus on value-add activities, like driving alpha generation.
A new Eze EMS condition allows you to configure your system behavior when a position is closed or opened. This enhanced functionality provides greater control over order flow when closing out of short positions or automating options, enabling traders to do more of what they do best.
Take Advantage of a Wide Range of Risk Analytics with SS&C Algorithmics
SS&C’s vast ecosystem of investment technologies allows users to design a platform tailored to the unique needs of their firm.
Now, Eze OMS seamlessly integrates with SS&C Algorithmics – a leading risk management platform empowering risk professionals to make informed decisions and mitigate potential risks. This unlocks a comprehensive suite of risk analytics across VaR and expected shortfall, scenario risk, shocks, and more.
Coupled with Eze OMS’s compliance engine, you can easily view position-level risk metrics and apply them to pre- and post-trade compliance checks.
Enhance Your Corporate Bond Trading with New Yield-to-Worst Calculations
Also in Eze OMS, we’ve expanded fixed-income capabilities to offer a more comprehensive and efficient corporate bond trading experience.
Key updates include:
- Yield-to-worst calculations for evaluating bond investments based on worst-case returns in the allocation expert window
- Accrued interest calculations for calculating trade and settle date accrued interest values
- Yield to convention compliance rules for building compliance rules based on the bond’s yield to convention
- and more
