Pacer Advisors has successfully implemented Bloomberg’s multi-asset order and execution management solutions (OEMSs) to automate its investment workflow. The integration includes Bloomberg Asset and Investment Manager (AIM) alongside EMSX, its multi-asset execution management system. This setup streamlines Pacer’s position management, trade execution, and compliance processes.
As part of the deployment, Bloomberg introduced the Rule Builder (RBLD) Optimizer to assist Pacer’s traders and portfolio managers during ETF rebalances. Integrated with AIM’s portfolio management functionality, the automated trading tool allows users to compare portfolios against benchmarks and generate automated orders. This replaces a traditional, manual “Broker Wheel” approach by evaluating entire order baskets simultaneously across multiple constraints, such as broker commissions, share distribution, and liquidity footprints.
The fully integrated solution enables complex baskets to be allocated and released to brokers in coordinated, single-click batches. By transitioning from hours of manual calculations to automated, dollar-neutral execution, the system reduces cash drag and overnight risk. Ultimately, the implementation lowers operational complexity and provides scalable execution for high-volume ETF portfolios.
