TS Imagine, a global specialist in trading, portfolio, and risk management solutions, has launched Platform 3.0, which the company says is a significant upgrade to its suite of services designed for financial institutions.
The updated platform, which marks the culmination of three years of intensive research and development, introduces a wide array of enhancements, notably an expanded data coverage and integration with Snowflake, a cloud data platform. The expanded dataset now offers price discovery and liquidity access across a network of over 300 endpoints, providing users with comprehensive coverage from day one.
A significant innovation in Platform 3.0 is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) across trading and risk management functions. This AI-powered automation converts unstructured data into structured formats, enabling faster decision-making and real-time data analysis. Users benefit from intraday insights, allowing them to optimise workflows and respond swiftly to market changes.
The platform also features AutoRoute, an advanced automation tool within the TradeSmart EMS that simplifies order flow management. AutoRoute can automatically route orders, assign trades to brokers, and classify trades, ensuring compliance with regulations like the Best Execution Rule. This automation reduces manual input, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in trading processes.
Platform 3.0 offers traders access to an even wider range of financial instruments, covering over 20 million assets, including municipal bonds, warrants, structured products, and derivatives. This expanded access allows fixed-income traders to diversify their strategies and tap into new markets, providing a competitive edge.
In terms of risk management, the platform enhances the capabilities of RiskSmart + and RiskSmart X, offering tools to better manage financial market risks and protect investments. RiskSmart X, in particular, provides comprehensive margin calculation tools, enabling sell-side firms to handle margin calls during periods of market volatility. Smaller investment firms using TS One can also benefit from live analytics and end-of-day calculations, such as Value at Risk (VaR).
Platform 3.0 also includes robust post-trade transaction management, offering automated trade history tracking and transaction cost analysis (TCA). This functionality ensures compliance and streamlines post-trade processes, giving users greater control over their operations.
