The partnership results in a combined offering, NYFIX Matching, which integrates Alpha Omega’s suite of post-trade solutions with NYFIX’s connectivity and FIX infrastructure for trading.
Ullink’s NYFIX Network is one of the largest independent connectivity communities utilizing FIX for electronic order flow, with a strong reputation for security, performance and robustness. Alpha Omega has built its reputation as a leader in FIX-based post trade solutions for the investment management industry.
NYFIX Matching achieves true straight through processing by seamlessly connecting trade execution and post-trade utilizing the industry standard FIX protocol.
Buy-side institutions can easily access NYFIX Matching through their existing NYFIX connections, as a fully-managed service. Through this service the buy-side can allocate and match their trades, accomplishing same-day affirmation with a global community of more than 700 brokers.
This extension of the NYFIX service into post-trade will deliver processing efficiencies with significant cost savings over current solutions.
