Fidessa Upgrades Buy-Side Workstation with ITG Logic

Fidessa has integrated ITG's pre-trade analysis tool, ITG Logic, with its buy-side Workstation.

Fidessa clients can use ITG Logic for extended analytics, such as measuring expected transaction and opportunity cost through a series of metrics including execution strategies, time horizon, volatility, spread, volume and order size. Users can also tap into the enhanced buy-side Workstation to better understand the trade-offs between different algorithms and to form part of the portfolio construction process.

"The integration of ITG Logic with the Buy-side Workstation is a fantastic enhancement for our mutual clients and ensures that our buy-side traders have the very best decision-making tools at their fingertips," says Russell Thornton, global head of buy-side Workstation solutions at Fidessa. "With an ever-increasing focus on costs, especially in today's volatile markets, tools such as these can really make a difference. These enhancements to our Workstation will help empower buy-side traders with the tools they need to make better trading decisions."
