XP Investments boosts trade volume 10x with Genesis

Using the Trade Allocation Manager (TAM), XP Investments modernized its middle office workflows, scaling operations, reducing manual effort, and accelerating trade processing.

Built and deployed in just three months

Trade volume scaled 10x with no added headcount

Processing capacity exceeds 50,000 trades per day

The challenge

XP Investments is one of South America’s leading investment firms, managing over 3.6 million global trades annually across multiple products and markets.

But their middle office was constrained by:

  • Multiple OMS technologies across teams
  • Manual allocation processes using spreadsheets
  • Vendor platforms that lacked flexibility and native integration

To support growth, they needed a modern solution that could scale with volume while integrating seamlessly with existing systems.

How Genesis helped

Using the Genesis Trade Allocation Manager (TAM), XP Investments replaced fragmented tools and manual work with a unified platform designed for scale, speed, and flexibility.

Key capabilities included:

  • Centralized trade allocation with full audit trail
  • Seamless integration with Fidessa and Omgeo
  • Configurable rules for allocation, limits, and validation
  • Code-free platform for fast deployment and updates

TAM now powers XP’s global trade allocation process, reducing operational risk and speeding up client confirmation times.

Main problems

  • Replaced fragmented OMS tools
  • Reduced duplication and manual reconciliation
  • Created a single source of truth for allocations
  • Removed re-keying and data duplication
  • Reduced risk of human error
  • Freed teams from low-value admin tasks
  • Faster customizations and lower dev costs
  • Easier OMS integration and maintenance
  • Greater agility to support evolving needs
“Now the team can complete the trade allocation process and create the client confirmations in half the time.”

  • TAM scaled processing without headcount
  • Now handles 50,000+ trades daily
  • Improved performance and speed
  • Reduced turnaround time for allocations
  • Fewer manual steps and fewer errors
  • Operations teams focus on value work
  • Faster, consistent trade confirmations
  • More transparency for clients
  • Strengthened post-trade relationships
