Dedicated Buy Side tools: the quest for efficiency continues

Our expertise in serving Sell Side clients is a key strength in facing the challenges of the Buy Side market. Buy Side traders are now looking for the most advanced electronic solutions that will give them access to markets and real-time information whilst also helping them develop trading strategies.

In 2006, GL TRADE used its expertise to provide Buy Side managers with GL Execution Management System (GL EMS) a package offering a broad range of sophisticated execution tools. It is well suited to trading in all types of securities irrespective of the market they are traded on. GL EMS™ is able to communicate perfectly with our clients’ existing internal order management and back office systems via Excel and FIX. It is integrated with GL NET and with various pools of liquidity and simplifies the selection of counterparties. GL EMS™ contributes to significant improvements in fund performance whilst allowing funds to comply fully with new financial regulations.

GL TRADE now generates 15% of turnover from the Buy Side community, with several thousand Buy Side workstations in distribution by nearly 80 brokers.

Post-Trade Derivatives solutions: volumes continue to rise

Post trade solutions provide automated real time management of the entire deal settlement process and manage the allocation and delivery of all necessary information to the Back Office. They are the product of the integration of the GL CLEARVISION Middle Office and UBIX Back Office suites.

We are constantly optimising our technology to help develop the performance of our Post-Trade Derivatives solutions, at a time when trading volumes of listed derivatives continue to grow. Our development efforts for GL CLEARVISION were boosted by the arrival of staff from EMOS, a derivatives Middle Office specialist, in 2006, who are contributing to the development of the future version of this solution. The next-generation GL CLEARVISION suite will naturally include all the most powerful functions of the EMOS product. We have already demonstrated our progress in this area with certain clients, and have received very positive feedback.

We have also emphasised the development of new Back Office functions in order to take full advantage of GL CLEARVISION’s dominant position with important international institutions and provide our users with ever better performance.
