FlexTrade Tapped by APG for Multi-Asset Execution Management Solutions

APG Asset Management (APG), one of the world's largest pension fund investment managers, has selected FlexTrade’s execution management platform, FlexTRADER EMS, to cement and  streamline its multi-asset execution management capabilities. FlexTrade operates as a global leader in multi-asset execution and order management systems.

According to the official press release, APG leverages FlexTRADER EMS to offer the flexibility to handle the trading of equities, fixed income and foreign exchange from a single platform. Besides, the solution will be used to create advanced, customizable workflows and deliver a consistent set of data, tools, and interface to improve trading efficiency to the firm’s trading teams in the Netherlands, Hong Kong, and the US.

Moreover, FlexTRADER’s open architecture and powerful APIs will provide interoperability across APG’s new ecosystem, as part of its broader front-office transformation initiative.

“This streamlined and open approach to handling cross-asset execution will deliver simplicity and consistency to APG’s trading teams while maintaining the flexibility via APIs to customize as their business requirements dictate,” said Andy Mahoney, Managing Director, EMEA at FlexTrade.

“We are delighted to be partnering with FlexTrade to deliver our new multi-asset execution management platform. We operate in an increasingly fast-paced environment where speed to market for new functionality, customization, and innovation can provide our teams with a competitive edge. Therefore, identifying a third party who could deliver on these factors and act as a key component of our future front office architecture was a primary consideration during our selection process,” Jan Mark van Mill, Head of Treasury and Trading at APG, stated.

Last month, Fazzaco reported that APG would start accessing Eurex's centrally cleared repo markets​ as of mid-June 2022.
