The Changing Role of the Buy-Side Middle Office
Supporting new investment products, keeping pace with expanded regulatory reporting requirements and providing the front office with timely cash and position data places increasing demands on the buy-side middle office. The industry drive toward shortened settlement times and collateralized derivatives transactions present additional challenges. Against this backdrop, firms need to consider whether to outsource their middle office or maintain these critical functions in-house. Join product specialists to hear how a unified front and middle office platform can help firms deal with these challenges while streamlining their investment processes and reducing operational risk and cost.

The Downsized Fixed Income Trading Desk: Technology Challenges & Opportunities
Amid electronification, regulatory change and the replacement of LIBOR, perhaps the biggest trend in fixed income markets is the downsizing of the trading desk, says Vidya Guruju, product manager for Charles River Development, a State Street Company. Speaking with TABB Group analyst Colby Jenkins at TABB’s 2019 Fixed Income Summit in February, Guruju explains how the need for traders to focus on high-risk orders and offload and automate low-touch orders is shaping the opportunity for OMS and EMS providers.
Evolution of the Smart OEMS
In the past, buy-side firms had to purchase and integrate separate Order Management Systems (OMS) and Execution Management Systems (EMS), often from different vendors. This increased operational risk and system maintenance costs, limited trader productivity, and failed to capture critical data across the trade life cycle. Charles River solved this problem by creating a multi-asset Order and Execution Management System (OEMS) complete with data, FIX connectivity, Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA) and trade analytics. As part of the Charles River IMS, the OEMS provides traders with extensive decision support, streamlined workflows across asset classes and a rich repository of historical trade, order and counterparty data.
