FlexTrade is a software company based in the United States, specializing in financial software solutions. Founded in 1996, the company has grown to employ between 501 and 1,000 individuals and generates significant annual revenue. FlexTrade's expertise is particularly evident in the realm of electronic trading systems, with a focus on fixed-income execution management systems (EMS). A recent technical report published by the company addresses the barriers to adopting fixed-income EMS, highlighting challenges such as a preference for traditional trading methods, concerns over technology resources, and the perceived maturity of EMS technology. The report also discusses the potential return on investment (ROI) associated with fixed-income EMS, emphasizing both hard savings in terms of cost and efficiency, as well as soft savings related to user experience. FlexTrade aims to facilitate superior execution for buy-side bond traders by identifying and overcoming these barriers, thus enhancing the overall trading experience within the financial markets.
