Caplin Systems Ltd., a real time web company, has launched Caplin Trader, an out-of-the-box web trading application that enables banks to build multi-product trading portals in FX and fixed income.
CaplinTrader offers a cost-effective alternative to the more traditional sell-side to buy-side offerings, enabling a broad range of FX and fixed income instruments to be traded online.
“FX and fixed income are rapidly moving towards electronic trading, and the Web is playing an important role,” says Caplin CEO Paul Caplin. “In FX, online trading portals are considered essential, and the fixed income market is now following that trend. Although most major investment banks already have online trading portals, these prototypes are often not robust nor functional enough to meet customer requirements. Banks need truly scaleable and functionally rich online portals in order to cost-effectively extend online trading to their mid- to low-tier clients.”
