Octopus Investments, the multi-manager specialist in the UK, has extended its use of Fidessa’s Buy-side Workstation, the low-latency trading workstation, in order to trade ETFs. Already an established user of the Workstation, Octopus first deployed Fidessa’s execution management system in 2009.
Dan Sinclair, OEIC operations manager at Octopus Investments, said: “Extending our use of Fidessa’s Buy-side Workstation was a natural evolution. We needed a solution that would give us a high level of control, allowing us to route our ETF orders to brokers quickly and efficiently, and the Workstation provides that. The ease of integration with our internal systems also complements our robust operational requirements.”
