KCx, the execution services arm of Kepler Cheuvreux, has partnered with Adaptive to build KCx Omni, the next-gen trade execution platform. The collaboration leverages KCx’s unique quantitative and technical capabilities together with Adaptive’s long standing track record of building low-latency trading platforms.
Financial institutions, challenged to navigate an increasingly complex global equities trading landscape, are turning to advanced technology and event-driven algorithms to enable smarter trading and deliver the best possible execution experience.
In response, KCx embarked on a transformative journey to reimagine what a modern trade execution platform should look like, incorporating open-source technologies and cloud computing into the fabric of the platform and reimagining the full front-to-back execution experience, spanning pre-trade, post-trade, data, and advanced analytical capabilities.
Key to the delivery of KCx’s new execution platform is Adaptive’s technical know-how and capital markets technologies, including Aeron®, the low-latency, high-throughput, resilient messaging & clustering technology; as well as Hydra, which streamlines and accelerates the build process, enabling swift project delivery and ensuring the execution platform scales effectively.
The platform is built on the three core principles of sequencer architecture, hybrid development, and rapid deployment, leading to an outcome that includes a bespoke UI, resilient architecture, greater automation, seamless traceability, and cross-asset class growth enablement.
