FIS Enhances Cross-Asset Trading and Risk Suite to Level Playing Field for Smaller Firms

Subscribe to our newsletter

FIS has announced significant strategic advancements to its Cross-Asset Trading and Risk Suite, aimed at streamlining operations for investment firms of all sizes. The updated platform integrates order, portfolio, position, and risk management into a single, flexible system. By replacing disconnected legacy systems and manual processes, the suite allows smaller firms to access sophisticated trading tools and cross-asset strategies that were previously the exclusive domain of major global players, according to the company.

The enhancement introduces new SaaS capabilities tailored for alternative investments and expanded support for both public and private market strategies on the buy side. To improve operational efficiency, FIS has implemented digitised dashboards and AI-driven tools designed to optimise the user experience. According to Matt Stauffer, Head of Trading and Asset Services at FIS, these updates are intended to eliminate the barriers created by complex markets and fragmented technology, enabling firms to deploy capital more effectively.
