Phoenix Investment House, a division of Phoenix Holdings, is enhancing international institutional trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) by integrating Broadridge's advanced Order Management System (OMS). This collaboration signifies a step in expanding global access to Israeli capital markets.

Phoenix Partners with Broadridge for TASE Access Expansion

In a move to boost its international trading capabilities, Phoenix Investment House has chosen Broadridge's OMS. The collaboration will offer direct market access to TASE, an advantage particularly beneficial for Phoenix's institutional clients.

Elad Burshtein, the CEO of Phoenix's Brokerage and Portfolio Management platform, emphasized the importance of this partnership, noting Broadridge's role in enhancing the trading toolkit for international clients accessing TASE.

"We are committed to innovation and providing strategic value in Israeli capital markets," Elad Burshtein, the CEO of Phoenix's Brokerage and Portfolio Management group, said.

The Tel Aviv market has seen increased foreign investment interest in recent years. By offering global investors direct market access, Phoenix aims to boost international trading volumes further. The technology implementation aligns with Phoenix's focus on improving operational efficiency.

Seeking to expand its scope, in 2023, TASE proposed the introduction of cryptocurrency trading. It also integrated analytical tools provided by TipRanks.

Broadridge's fully hosted OMS has advanced trading tools and reliable technology. It is designed to bolster Phoenix's value proposition to institutional clients, providing a robust platform for both high- and low-touch trading workflows. The OMS further offers comprehensive tools for compliance and seamless integration across various stages of the trade lifecycle.

Ofir Gefen, the Managing Director at Broadridge, said the partnership enables Phoenix to enhance its institutional trading offerings. "Israel is an important market for Broadridge, and we look forward to a lasting relationship with Phoenix," Gefen stated.

The system's connectivity to over 200 exchanges and multi-asset class capabilities make it a versatile choice for Phoenix. Currently, Broadridge's OMS is utilized by over 150 firms and 5,000 active traders globally.
