Throughout the first half of the year, our OEMS development teams have been hard at work releasing front-office updates users can get excited about.   

Eze’s product roadmaps are always based on the needs of our users, combined with the headwinds and trends we see in the marketplace, and these influences are certainly evident in the updates released throughout the last several months.   

These exciting enhancements include the introduction of electronic fixed-income trading in Eze EMS, new automated trading functionality, access to a wide range of risk analytics via SS&C Algorithmics, yield-to-worst calculations, and more!   

Read on to learn more about each of these enhancements, and check out our update tour to dive deeper into all of the latest enhancements.  

Trade Fixed Income Electronically with Eze EMS  

Eze EMS, a proven leader in multi-asset execution management, has expanded its capabilities to include fixed-income trading. Now, you can seamlessly trade a variety of fixed-income instruments, including corporates, governments, munis, and securitized bonds, alongside your other assets.  

With connections to the three leading trading venues – Bloomberg, MarketAxess, and Tradeweb – you can trade bond instruments electronically with the staged order ticket.

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
