Front Office
Fundamental offers a full, end-to-end order management system. This system leads the client from the buy/sell decision through the allocation of the fully filled order to the requisite portfolio. The front office functionality can therefore be broken down into the following key functional areas:
Modeling
Sector by sector asset comparison vs a specified model portfolio
Pre-trade compliance
based on a predefined custom set of rules as defined by Fundamental (in conjunction with the client)
Order book management
Allocations and postings
Portfolio Structure Detail views
Dynamic Sector Tree management
The order screen is the central area within FPM Front Office for the capture and management
of orders and the allocation of these orders to a portfolio, broker, or both.
The screen allows for the tracking of an order through multiple states, namely: Preauthorised, Authorised, Released and Traded.
The order process allows for partial and full allocation of an order. The Trade Capture screen
includes the option to select or override system calculated brokerage and trade time fees. The
"Suggest Allocation" function can be used to split a partial allocation.
