COMPREHENSIVE TRADE ORDER MANAGEMENT SOLUTION

Investment firms have discovered that driving efficiency and growth results from modernizing their trade order management system (TOMS).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT TRADE ORDER MANAGEMENT

A trade order management system is a software platform built to streamline the process of creating, managing, and executing trades. Traders, portfolio managers, and brokers use TOMS to handle orders, including entering/trade creation, execution, reporting, and compliance. TOMS integrates with other investment systems used by the investment manager.

Vendors like INDATA focus on delivering a seamless workflow experience supplemented with practical AI to automate workflows using natural language processing (NLP) commands and Generative AI via Large Language Models (LLMs). The flexible architecture of INDATA’s solution is configurable to any custom workflow used by clients, but with the benefit of a SaaS approach that includes ongoing system updates.

Yes. The INDATA OMS platform works across multiple asset classes (multi-asset), including equities, fixed income, currencies, cash products, derivatives, and alternative investments.

Yes. The trade order management software offers real-time compliance as well as pre-trade and post-trade. INDATA also supports compliance setup and questions as part of ongoing support, which are available when end users need them.

Yes. The INDATA TOMS system uses the FIX protocol as well as open APIs to connect with various systems, trading counterparties, and other third-party software.

An OMS focuses on front- and middle-office functions, helping investment firms manage portfolio holdings, orders, executions, and compliance activities related to trading in a centralized, efficient manner. The buy-side and sell-side use it most often.

The main difference between OMS vs. EMS is the user and purpose. OMS users focus on order creation, management, and compliance activities. EMS also has a compliance element, but those using it do so for trade execution and optimization of these associated tasks.

Another difference is the view of its users. An OMS provides a high-level view of a portfolio with order generation happening. The OMS follows the instructions of users to reduce the percentage of an asset with potential exposure. An EMS offers real-time access for traders to then act on the information.

These two platforms have synergies. When combined, firms have all the functionality needed for complete trade order management. They should easily integrate because they work in tandem. An OMS feeds orders to the EMS to trade, and the EMS updates the OMS with the execution details for accurate order tracking and reporting.

The platform uses:

  • The web (fully browser-based user interface)
  • Cloud-native (built in the cloud for the cloud)
  • Open APIs for connectivity
  • “Low code” data analytics and reporting tools via fully integrated Microsoft Power BI
  • Practical AI tools: NLP, Generative AI and machine learning

INDATA’s SaaS approach includes ongoing software updates included in the base cost of the system.  Benefit from continued improvement without disruptive software version updates. Determine the update frequency that is right for your firm (weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually) rather than having forced updates that may be disruptive to your business.

INDATA OMS clients are global investment management firms consisting of institutional fund managers, RIAs and wealth management firms, and hedge funds. AUM (assets under management) range from start-up firms to over $100 billion, covering a full range of asset classes.
