How the Buy-Side Manages FX With Multi-Asset OMSs and EMSs
Multi-asset OMSs and EMSs with robust FX functionalities will soon surface as preferred platforms.
Boston, November 21, 2017 – Since the global financial crisis, the majority of sell-side banks have pulled back on loss-leading services, forcing their buy-side clients to reprioritize and invest in areas in which they can deliver value to their own institutional clients. More buy-side firms are now contemplating, and some are actively rolling out, centralized trading departments that utilize the optimal multi-asset (foreign exchange included) order management systems and execution management systems that give them the most control over the total cost of ownership.
This report describes midsize to large traditional asset managers’ and small to midsize hedge funds’ overall attitudes regarding the OMS and EMS providers servicing their investment operations, explores factors that contribute to their treatment of FX risk, and reveals how they manage FX workflow within these multi-asset systems. It is based on an Aite Group online survey of 42 senior professionals from North American and European buy-side firms conducted in the fall of 2016.
