Global asset management firm Dalton Street Capital has deployed FlexTRADER EMS, a solution provided by the broker-neutral technology firm FlexTrade Systems, to handle trading for equities, FX, equity options as well as futures trading.
The Sydney-based investment manager said that FlexTrade's solutions will help the company expand existing strategies and quickly launch new ones across multiple asset classes and geographic regions.
FlexTRADER is a customizable Execution management system (EMS) with pre-defined trading strategies and tactics for portfolio and single stock trading across all asset classes. Global investment managers prefer the solution since the consolidation of equities, FX, listed options, futures, or any combination is essential on the same platform in order to ensure smooth functioning. The multi-asset execution management system can also be tailored for global access to broker algorithms, as well as the ability to build proprietary algorithms.
Alan Sheen, co-founder and Director, Dalton Street Capital, commented: “FlexTrade’s multi-asset trading EMS, combined with its automation capabilities and intuitive API interface, were truly impressive. Now we can automatically hedge our foreign Exchange exposure while seamlessly managing cross asset risk.”
Dan Enstedt, Vice President of Business Development for FlexTrade’s Sydney-based operations, added: “We are thrilled to partner with Dalton Street Capital and Prodigy Investment Partners. It’s vital for a firm such as Dalton Street Capital to be able to handle all their global multi-asset flow through one execution platform. With FlexTRADER’s seamless API integration capabilities, Dalton Street Capital can streamline their quantitative investment approach, providing the ability to trade quickly and efficiently across global markets ensuring best execution.”
