Alfred Eskandar, CEO of Portware commented:
Traders today are inundated with data. When a fundamental challenge is merely sifting through the noise to find a signal, traders need smarter tools that can help them analyze market conditions and execute the best trading strategy for a particular order at any given time—while simultaneously meeting their regulatory obligations. An EMS should not just be a staging and order routing tool—it needs to add measurable value.
Richard Johnson, VP, Market Structure and Technology, at Greenwich Associates stated:
New best execution requirements and pending regulatory mandates like MiFID II will force firms to demonstrate they can effectively store, analyze and report on their execution data.
Firms will need to ensure they have access to advanced execution systems that can customize strategies and offer superior analytics necessary to deliver venue analysis and customized reporting.
