Introducing Trade Ideas Module: Optimising Structured Products Operations 

Let’s face it, many firms struggle with the chaotic management of trade idea generation and distribution, often resulting in the inability to scale up their structured products business effectively. But what if I told you there’s a secret weapon, a tool so powerful it’s poised to transform how we conceive, communicate, and execute these ideas?

Within the structured products market, a vast array of ideas can be generated. Central investment teams and Relationship Managers (RMs) juggle between themes, types, payoffs, and permutations to create product ideas that suit different styles and risk reward appetite of clients. This situation creates a bottleneck in the business, as private wealth companies strive to efficiently serve clients with greater speed. There is a clear need to generate and ‘advertise’ ideas to sales channels so that RMs can access the right products for their customers. 

Futora has developed a Trade Idea Module that aids RMs by providing products readily available for client service, as well as benefiting the structuring team by eliminating the need to communicate manually products to the distribution network.

How it works: 
The structuring team investigates market trends, analyses various underlyings, and determines the optimal combinations of trade parameters to align with the investment preferences of wealth advisor clients. Once these parameters are determined, they are posted to the system, enabling RMs to efficiently carry out their duties.

This module provides two interfaces tailored to the needs of both RMs and administrators (structuring or investment product teams). For Relationship Managers, it offers an intuitive product management system, ensuring a user-friendly experience. Simultaneously, it empowers administrators by granting them control over product selection for publication, product allocation, order management, and other functionalities. 

The Trade Idea Module is also accompanied by the analytical tool that is able to help teams in pre-trade and post-trade tasks. Brom analysing products with back testing, forward looking scenarios and others, to a full lifecycle capabilities across any payoff traded.
