FlexTrade Systems, Inc., an international leader in multi-asset execution and order management systems, today announced Pine River Capital Management has globally deployedits FlexTRADER EMS to facilitate trading for equities, FX and listed derivatives.
“In this business, one has to continue to innovate or die,”said Scott Reinhart, Head of Pine River Capital Management’s Hong Kong office. “Trading strategies that might have been successful five years ago simply might no longer be attractive. FlexTrade’s solutions have helped us to expand our existing strategies and quickly launch new ones across multiple asset classes and geographic regions.”
As part of the deployment, Pine River is live with FlexTRADER for equities, FX, equity options trading and dispersion trading, and futures trading.
“As trading technology evolves and the global markets mature electronically across all asset classes, it’s only natural that multi-asset trading would become crucial to firms such as Pine River,” said Vijay Kedia, president and CEO of FlexTrade Systems. “If you are trading equities, FX, listed options, futures, or any combination thereof, it simply makes sense to consolidate them all together on the same platform.”
