The State of Play in OMS/EMS: The Need for Multi-Asset and Enhanced TCA (Strategic Focus)
License Price: US$ 9,990.00
Introduction
Order management and execution management systems, or OMSs and EMSs, are trading platforms that came into existence in the equities world, where they are an established part of the infrastructure in both buy- and sell-side institutions. Indeed, OMS can be considered a mature market, in that the majority of potential customers have already had one installed for a long time.
Features and benefits
The biggest and best-funded investment banks will certainly want to keep their offerings going and continue to devote development budget by adding new functionality to them, as they are an excellent means of maintaining a captive buy-side audience. Banks are, however, becoming more selective about whom they provide the systems to.The growth in popularity in multi-asset funds, and therefore the increasing number being launched in the market, is a predictable reaction to the volatility that has characterized the cash equity markets since the global financial crisis broke out in 2007.The main thrust of current legislative endeavors is intended to reduce banks’ ability to take on risk by imposing more stringent capital requirements.

Indeed, OMS can be considered a mature market, in that the majority of potential customers have already had one installed for a long time.
Features and benefits
- The report shows how liquidity continues to fragment in Europe and begins to do the same in Asia Pacific.
- It discusses the evolution of transaction cost analysis from a compliance to an optimization tool.
- It considers the challenges to OMS/EMS from the move to multi-asset strategies.

Your key questions answered
- Will OMS and EMS platforms ultimately converge into so-called OEMS that does both order and execution management?
- What are the challenges for handling multiple asset classes from a single OMS/EMS?
- Will transaction cost analysis be offered primarily by OMS and EMS vendors, or will the dedicated TCA vendors continue to have a role to play?
