Liquid Holdings Helps Traders with Upgraded Mobile App and OEMS

Traders who use their mobile device to monitor positions and/or risk are going to get a better view of the markets.

Liquid Holdings, a provider of cloud-based software as a service, has enhanced its LiquidMobile and LiquidTrade products. LiquidMobile is the firm’s web-based portfolio and risk analytics app and LiquidTrade is its broker-neutral order and execution management system.

The firm has added new portfolio analytics reports and dashboards, and enhanced allocation and restricted-list rules to both in order to meet investor and regulatory demands.

LiquidMobile 1.1.1, the newest iteration of the personal mobile app, now has new interactive dashboards and reports that allow hedge funds and other asset managers to monitor their investments at the fund-, strategy-, account-, portfolio-, and security-level from a mobile device. The latest dashboards include heat maps to quickly interrogate the drivers of performance and risk in real-time, or as-of a specified date.

It also features client reporting capabilities which allow users to create custom report packets that best illustrate a fund’s methodology, performance and risk profile. All of the reports and dashboards in the web-based app leverage Liquid’s library of data and market-tested analytics to ensure accurate reporting.

“The way we store data and calculate results provides our clients with a wide range of analysis. As our clients continue to use LiquidMobile, they want very specific analyses while simultaneously looking at new ways to approach how they view their positions, strategies and funds,” said Peter Kent, chief executive of Liquid Holdings. “Our platform facilitates the type of thoughtful and creative analysis they require, which is why LiquidMobile has been adopted by more than half of our clients.”

LiquidTrade 3.8, the newest version of the order- and execution-management system, now allows fund managers to facilitate multi-strategy investing in a compliant manner, while storing the firm’s full transaction history in a custody-neutral environment. Some of the new functionality includes new trade allocation methodologies, order generation that is based on the weighting of the underlying security relative to the overall portfolio (or flexible basis) and restricted lists that prohibit the trading of specific securities as set forth in the investment policy.

It also assists traders with option-marking methodologies, such as helping determine how a price for options is produced for display and P&L calculation purposes and option expiration automation – where the system automatically identifies expired option positions and facilitate the manual creation of trades for Option Position Offset and Option Exercise.
