FlexTrade Systems has partnered with portfolio analytics specialist Portx to expand the real-time risk management and portfolio construction capabilities available through its FlexONE order and execution management system (OEMS).
The integration brings Portx’s portfolio construction, optimisation and risk analytics technology directly into FlexONE, enabling hedge funds and institutional asset managers to assess portfolio exposures and evaluate the impact of trades before and during execution.
The move comes as buy-side firms increasingly seek to incorporate real-time risk analysis into their trading workflows, particularly as multi-strategy and multi-asset portfolios become more complex and demand more sophisticated hedging capabilities.
Under the partnership, FlexONE users will be able to combine live positions, orders and execution data with Portx’s portfolio analytics to gain a real-time view of portfolio risk and projected exposures. The enhanced functionality is designed to support portfolio managers and traders in evaluating pro forma risk, optimising portfolio construction and making more informed investment decisions.
The integration also builds on FlexONE’s existing front-office risk management toolkit, which already includes features such as real-time risk recalculation, intraday factor exposure monitoring and factor-based profit and loss analysis.
Enrico Grande, CEO and founder of Portx, said the collaboration would help discretionary portfolio managers convert increasingly complex quantitative data into actionable investment decisions by embedding advanced portfolio construction capabilities directly within the trading workflow.
Aaron Levine, head of OEMS Product at FlexTrade, said the partnership strengthens the portfolio intelligence available through FlexONE by providing users with sophisticated portfolio construction tools and real-time risk insights at the point of execution.
