Hedge funds, private banks and other clients are increasingly seeking to trade FX options on platforms, driven by regulators’ requirements for investors to prove best execution and the growing depth and range of offerings available. From a client perspective, aggregator and multi-dealer platforms are an attractive proposition, offering convenience, transparency and the potential for lower costs; they make the processing of price requests significantly more straightforward.
In the past, many buy side clients relied on a handful of liquidity providers. The need to prove best execution has transformed how these users access FX option products. In order to comply with regulations, some users initially requested quotes electronically and simply captured a screenshot of the quotes in order to prove best execution. However, this process is cumbersome and fails to realise the full benefits of moving to electronic trading.

Click here to read moreFinIQ is pleased to announce that Asia's top distributor has gone live on FinIQ's newly offered cloud platform SPConnect. The SPConnect cloud platform is targeted at handling automation of flexible structured products payoffs complementing FinIQ's EQConnect cloud platform which was launched in 2014 as a realtime, auto-priced, FIX protocol-based aggregation platform for eight most popular highly liquid payoffs.
FinIQ's first SPConnect implementation aggregates diverse message formats of 18 different issuers which is achieved via zero coding and 100 percent configuration. Having started in November 2019, FinIQ's configuration team successfully completed a total of 64 payoff variations.
The Platfrom is region-agnostic and payoff-agnostic. It can house any of the worldwide payoffs. Distributors can get more and more issuers. Any issuer can be easily onboarded given the fact that the issuers need not have either FIX Engine or the Auto Pricer readily available before they are on-boarded. Multiple requests for quotes can be batched in one email dispatch with further flexibility given to the sell sides to reply progressively with one or multiple RFQs responded every few seconds or even minutes. The system tracks hundreds of these e-auctions with sophisticated filters, ranking rules to yield the top ranks in real time.
Milind Kulkarni, FinIQ CEO, considers this as the next wave of digitalization in financial product distribution. "Most complex payoffs, in most configurable fashion, implemented in record time, with majority of leading issuers, and for the most prestigious bank. This success has five magnificent achievements by a fifteen-member team, thanks to our UCP (User Configured Products) toolkit."
