Front Office

Trading and portfolio management to make better decisions
Facing lower returns, the front office is severely pressed to cut costs, boost performance, comply with ever-increasing regulatory requirements, and deliver exceptional client service. Meanwhile, businesses must be able to add products quickly and support new product types like carbon trading in the burgeoning ESG arena, while managing flow products efficiently.
Volatility spikes (pandemic effects, central bank interventions, geopolitical events) exacerbate challenges – highlighting the importance of agile infrastructures and integrated solutions so firms can implement changes swiftly.
To achieve trading and portfolio management objectives and gain competitive advantage, firms need to fortify their front offices by adopting:
- Tighter integration: front-to-back
- A data-driven approach
- A single source of truth
- Trading modernization through digital transformation
