ConvergEx

ConvergEx’s real-time, web-based product, PerformEx, allows traders to see up-to-the-second attained costs on the realised portion of their trades as well as opportunity costs calculated with current prices providing an estimate of total execution costs against the most popular of benchmarks.

PerformEx offers in-depth analysis on orders in various formats including bar graphs of executions rendered minute-by-minute and superimposed with market volume and VWAP, pie charts showing execution venues with corresponding light to dark ratios, and broader market correlation graphs that look at relevant sector and index ETF price swings during the trading horizon.

The product provides transaction cost analysis
(TCA) for equities executed using ConvergEx’s algorithmic suite in markets
throughout Asia, Europe and the Americas.

Transaction data

PerformEx processes parent orders, child orders and
execution data generated by ConvergEx’s in-house algorithmic trading engine.

Benchmarks

Benchmarks include previous close, trade date open,
arrival price, VWAP, reversion and trade date close.

Reporting options

Customised reports from PerformEx provide
performance numbers in a variety of groupings and formats. Users can receive
reports via email at a specified interval (daily, weekly or monthly).

Consultancy services

the installation and on-going use of our products and services. Our team
