This development is the latest in a series of enhancements TORA has made to ease the burden on clients as they transition to this new regulatory regime.
Today, portfolio managers and traders are inundated with market data and information on which to base investment and trading decisions. OTAS real-time analytics, in combination with TORAs suite of pre-, in- and post-trade TCA tools, help clients overcome this challenge.
