Buy-side firm AXA Investment Managers has selected the TradingScreen execution management system (EMS) to provide a single platform for multi-asset trading and to reduce connectivity burdens.

Connectivity to brokers, trading tools and venues will be managed by TradingScreen, reducing the burden on AXA IM’s internal IT resources while adding to the functionality available to the trading desk.

“A big part of our decision to use TradingScreen was that it was multi-asset class,” said (Paul) Squires (head of trading at AXA Investment Managers). “It’s only being used for equities at the moment but we will continue to roll it out to other areas of the business.”
