Smart Order Routing and Algorithmic Trading

Meet the demands of scattered liquidity with smart order routing and algorithmic trading integrated seamlessly into your order management workflow.

In the post-MiFID landscape, liquidity has been scattered over several exchanges and the new MTFs. This has incurred new demands for better tools and more automation for order management and execution.

Automating your order life-cycle is crucial to success. Use SunGard’s Front Arena smart order routing and algorithmic trading capabilities to master fragmented delivery and capture, manage and intelligently route multi-market orders to multiple execution venues.

Front Arena’s comprehensive engine contains extensive out-of-the-box arbitrage algorithms. Or develop your own tailored algorithms using a minimum of programming knowledge for more complex execution strategies.

A high level of granularity enables efficient design of your order flow. Market data is presented in one consolidated view to ensure transparent multi-market trading. The result is a design that masters the complexity of trading many markets at the same time while allowing you to maintain maximum control.
