Callum joined a well-received panel discussion on bridging voice and e-trading, sharing insights on FX Options automation and how to best align liquidity and connectivity with the market participant’s business model. A couple of themes were apparent throughout the day, the importance of curated liquidity, with bespoke taker to maker relationship connectivity and ‘what constitutes best execution’.
As facilitators in liquidity curation and price-making, these themes are firmly in the sweet spot of the solutions we deliver. We help clients digitalise FXO workflows through flexible models, whether a full deal-and-cover approach or a hybrid setup where high-volume, low-value flows are automated and non-managed currencies are offset with liquidity partners, all whilst enabling customers to determine what the important aspects of best ex are to them and apply them to their liquidity panel. Given the complexity of the FX Options market, we believe relationship-driven automation and flexibility in execution is key to a successful digitalisation strategy.
kACE provides the tools to make this happen quickly and cost effectively, helping more participants enter the market as both takers and makers; bringing more diversity of liquidity sources and flow into the electronic derivatives market. An interesting question from an audience member was asking ‘how long it would take to get direct API’s for FX Options,’ — a capability kACE has been delivering for years.
Our unique offering stems from being a front and centre system for a variety of market participants across the globe and building up workflow knowledge from over 30 years of working with these clients.
