Cross-asset Trading Is Gaining Speed At All Major Firms

May 24, 2010 - PRLog -- Many firms, big and small, are turning to cross-asset trading and bringing the trading of two or more asset classes together onto a single platform for more efficiency, better risk management, better position reporting and viewing, and ultimately better returns. And that's where you could see beyond equity into currency, options, futures, bonds and other asset classes.

The traditional separation of asset classes into distinct business organizations with incompatible trading systems is quickly becoming an idea of the past. Your trading desk will soon automate every variety of asset trading. After all there is a great business case for multi-asset trading.

It remains all too easy to fail at multi-asset trading!

- Victor Lebreton, Managing Director, Quant Hedge give insight on how he linked his multi-asset trading strategy to his core processes
- Robin Griffiths, Strategist, Fund Manager, Cazenove Capital Management gives practical advice on managing volatility in multi-asset trading: trading diverse baskets
