Case Study

StoneX simplifies the post trade technology ecosystem with TAM

Global broker-dealer improves client service and post trade efficiency with Genesis middle office solution

The Challenge

StoneX provides institutional access to 39 derivatives exchanges, 175 foreign exchange markets, nearly every global securities marketplace and bi-lateral liquidity venues, as well as retail market access via FOREX.com and City Index, among other platforms.

The firm provides institutional-grade digital platforms, high-touch service and market intelligence to help clients pursue trading opportunities, make investments efficiently, manage market risk and improve their business performance.

With StoneX, clients have one trusted partner to access markets worldwide.

Like many financial markets firms, StoneX’s post-trade operations were siloed by asset type, most notably equity versus fixed income, and by the use of multiple OEMS systems.

As a result, the technologies used to support the middle and back-office workflows were not integrated, creating a series of operational and financial risks, and were resource and cost-intensive to manage.

Less than a year to develop

Being geographically close to StoneX, we engaged in numerous in-person workshops over two months, which translated into a deep understanding of StoneX’s needs and vision.

Launched in 2020

Since it first deployed TAM for StoneX in 2020, Genesis has added multiple customized features and capabilities to further support StoneX trading operations.
