Charles River Partners with OTAS to Improve Buy-Side Trading Efficiency

Charles River Development announced it has partnered with OTAS Technologies and incorporated OTASs global equity trading analytics in the Charles River Investment Management Solution (Charles River IMS). The partnership makes OTASs trade analytics available as a separately licensed add-in to Charles Rivers portfolio management workspace and combined order and execution management system (OEMS).

OTAS can be a real alpha generator, said Lee Garf, VP, Product Management, Charles River Development. It gives portfolio managers and traders real-time access to the best market intelligence and improves communication throughout the front office. Portfolio managers can monitor their trades, and traders can recognize opportunities sooner and respond more quickly to changing market conditions.

Incorporating advanced analytics from OTAS into the portfolio management and trading workflows provides actionable signals that support instant decision making and improve front office efficiency, said Tom Doris, CEO of OTAS Technologies. This provides constant insight into whats happening with trades, which improves both transparency and productivity for buy-side firms.
