What Modern Fixed Income Trading Desks Actually Need
Findings from IMTC’s inaugural Trading & OMS Report on how portfolio managers, traders, and operations teams are rebuilding their infrastructure for the way fixed income actually works today.
Offer personalized muni portfolios at scale
Manage across multiple strategies concurrently on a modern, intuitive platform without manual, time-consuming processes.
Are you limited to investing one strategy at a time or using spreadsheets to manage accounts?
Managing hundreds or thousands of portfolios across different strategies – state-focused, laddered, barbell, or custom – isn’t scalable using current technology. Using platforms that can only invest one strategy at a time or using spreadsheets to make decisions isn’t effective.
IMTC can help if you’re having difficulties with:
Aggregating and adapting data
Making decisions with fragmented and rigid data sources is cumbersome and lacks the ability to override details or add custom inputs.
Identifying portfolio gaps
Filtering for accounts that have cash or that need maintenance trades and determining optimal investments with the limited availability of bonds is time-consuming across all accounts.
Allocating across accounts
Determining accounts and quantities in which to allocate bonds in a sector that lacks inventory is a manual workflow that lacks an equitable and repeatable process.
Automating post-trade workflows
Ensuring the back-end trade flow is properly communicated to multiple brokers and custodians is complicated and error-prone without straight-through-processing.
