blocked desk trades, broker releases and fills. TCA capability is embedded in
the Charles River IMS and so has access to all order data.
Benchmarks
Charles River IMS offers 77 canned benchmarks with
the ability to customise.
Reporting options
Reporting options include; ad hoc reporting on any
current data view, canned reports in Excel/Word/PDF including performance
monitoring, profile, broker comparison and compliance. A report builder allows
clients to construct reports containing all graphics and data including pivot
tables and grouping.
Reports can be run one-off or scheduled daily, weekly,
monthly and quarterly, with clients selecting the detail level they require.
Pre-trade analysis
Charles River IMS is shipped with an analytics
blotter, offering all key fundamental analytics. Traders and portfolio managers
can track trade performance throughout the trade life-cycle. The service offers
integration to third-party providers for pre-trade market impact, cost and
post-trade reporting and analysis.
Future plans
Charles River is embedding SJL’s advanced pre- and post-trade TCA directly into Charles River IMS. This provides traders and portfolio managers with critical analysis to help improve investment decisions and ultimately reduce trading costs by measuring investment strategies and broker performance more effectively in one system.
