In the post-crunch environment few firms still have the appetite for the complicated, expensive strung-together systems that emerged, many by accident, during the long bull market. Customers, shareholders and regulators are now looking to firms to demonstrate better control of equities trading - to enhance performance, guarantee compliance and get a single view of trading activities.

But how can you deliver simplicity and control when markets are fragmenting and cross-asset trading is stretching traditional workflows and systems? And how can you be sure that you will remain compliant - whatever new regulations emerge?

Front Arena for Equities is SunGard's most powerful equity trading platform yet. In a single screen you can trade multiple instruments across exchanges, alternative venues and OTC. No matter what, where or how you want to trade, Front Arena makes it simple.
