Fidessa Integrates Fincad's Pricing Library for Sell-Side Platforms

Fidessa has announced that Fincad's derivatives pricing library has been integrated into its own trading platforms.

The move effectively takes Fincad's library across from the buy side, giving Fidessa's sell-side clients access to options pricing and risk analytics to enhance their benchmarking capabilities. It also builds on the existing relationship between the two companies, as well as improving the sell-side platforms' multi-asset capabilities.

"We believe that having industry-standard pricing for complex products in a global multi-asset environment is crucial, especially given the evolving market structure and regulatory changes within the derivatives space," says Dan Smalley, director of business development for Enterprise Services at Fidessa US.

"Our long-term relationship with Fincad has been an important element in the success of our multi-asset strategy on the buy side, and we are delighted to be able to bring its high-quality, trusted analytics and risk statistics to the sell-side, as we extend the functionality for futures, options and swaps in the Fidessa trading platform," Smalley says.
