Portware Enterprise ist ein vollständig anpassbares Execution-Management-System, das als zentrale Plattform für die Erstellung und Ausführung algorithmischer Handelsstrategien für globale Aktien, Futures, Optionen und FX dient. Portware ist nicht mit jedem Broker verbunden, so dass unsere Kunden unkonfliktreichen Zugriff auf die breiteste Palette von Liquiditätsanbietern, Broker algorithmischen Suiten und Handel Destinationen weltweit. Portware Enterprise wird derzeit von mehr als 100 Unternehmen weltweit, darunter viele der weltweit größten und anspruchsvollsten Handelsunternehmen eingesetzt. Auf der Kaufseite wird Portware von führenden institutionellen Wertpapierfirmen, alternativen Vermögensverwaltern und quantitativen Hedgefonds eingesetzt. Auf der Verkaufsseite wird Portware von Programm-, Haupt - und Agenturhändlern genutzt, um alle Aspekte ihres Kundenauftragsflusses zu automatisieren. Portware Enterprises Open API ermöglicht eine nahtlose Integration mit Drittanbietern oder proprietären Handels-Workflow-Anwendungen, einschließlich OMSs, Tick-Datenbanken, Risiko - und Analysenanwendungen, Handelsreporting-Systemen und TCA-Services. Portware kann von einem zentralen Standort aus bereitgestellt, überwacht und modifiziert werden. Benutzer können benutzerdefinierte Regeln, Bibliotheken und Benutzeroberflächen, sowie Überwachung der System-Gesundheit und Statistiken der Portware-Installationen im gesamten Unternehmen. Clients können Portware Enterprise vor Ort installieren oder die Portwares Global Cloud-Lösung für eine effiziente Bereitstellung und einfachen Zugriff auf alle globalen Liquiditätsanbieter nutzen. Im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen ASP-Handelssystemen bietet das Portwares-Cloud-basierte Enterprise-Angebot die gleiche Leistung, Integration und Anpassung wie lokal installierte Enterprise-Lösungen. Portware bietet vorab zertifizierte Adapter für alle kommerziellen Marktdatenanbieter, einschließlich Reuters, Bloomberg, Activ, IDC, Wombat, etc. Das System kann auch mit jedem benutzerdefinierten oder proprietären Feed integrieren. Portware unterstützt sowohl Einzel - als auch Mehrbenutzerkonfigurationen für Korb, Bestellung und Positionsverteilung. Portware Strategy Server ist eine leistungsfähige algorithmische Engine, die speziell für hochvolumiges, hochfrequentes automatisiertes Auftragsmanagement entwickelt wurde. Strategy Server ermöglicht es Benutzern, komplexe Handelsstrategien und Algorithmen in einer dedizierten, sehr sicheren Handelsumgebung zu erstellen. Es kann unabhängig als eigenständige, Black-Box-Trading-Lösung oder im Tandem mit Portware Enterprise verwendet werden, um spezifische algorithmische Entwicklung und Handelsanforderungen zu adressieren. In jedem Fall kann Strategy Server eine massive Anzahl von Aufträgen und den damit verbundenen Nachrichtenverkehr verarbeiten und Routingaufträge zu jedem globalen Marktziel über integrierte, vorzertifizierte FIX-Verbindungen verarbeiten. Es gibt zahlreiche Event-Processing-Engines auf dem Markt heute, die Echtzeit-Daten-Analyse in einer Form zu versprechen. Doch während die Ergebnisse der verschiedenen Nachrichten-pro-Sekunde Bake-off-Analysen für interessante wissenschaftliche Diskussion, keine dieser Motoren bieten die volle Trading-Lösung, die Strategy Server liefert. In der Tat, jenseits der grundlegenden Veranstaltung Verarbeitung, bieten diese Motoren wenig anderes. Portware Strategy Server, auf der anderen Seite, verbindet hyper-fast CEP mit dem kompletten Satz von Handel-spezifische Funktionalität. Portware Strategy Server bietet unbeschränkte, vorzertifizierte Verbindungen zu über 500 globalen Marktzielen, darunter Broker, algorithmische Strategien, ATS, Börsen und ECNs. Ob Sie Aktien, Devisen, Futures oder Optionen handeln, Strategy Server bietet eine umfassende, vollständig integrierte Lösung für alle Ihre Routing-Anforderungen. Strategy Server Flexible, offene Architektur ermöglicht es einem Unternehmen, benutzerdefinierte algorithmische Strategien einfach zu implementieren, auszuführen und zurückzulegen. Benutzer können die Vorteile von Strategy Servers API nutzen, um hochentwickelte, proprietäre Algorithmen für mehrere Assets entweder unabhängig oder als Teil komplexer Multi-Asset-Handelsstrategien zu implementieren. Und weil Strategy Server als eine separate Handelsumgebung arbeitet, können Benutzer Algorithmen in Strategy Server on the fly aktualisieren, ohne die Stabilität ihres gesamten Handelssystems zu beeinträchtigen. Bei der Verwendung in Verbindung mit Client-Arbeitsstationen, z. B. solchen, die als Teil einer Portware Enterprise-Installation bereitgestellt werden, können Benutzer Bestellungen von ihren Desktops direkt an proprietäre und Drittanbieteralgorithmen weiterleiten, die in Strategy Server bereitgestellt werden. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Basis-CEPs bietet Portware Strategy Server vollständiges Status - und Positionsmanagement. Warum ist dies wichtig Portware hält eine vollständige Sicht auf den Lebenszyklus eines bestimmten Handels. Ist es ein Einzelticket-Eintrag Ist es ein Kind Ordnung, ein kleiner Teil einer größeren Bestellung, die selbst Teil eines größeren Korb Ebene Strategie sein könnte Ist der Auftrag angenommen worden Wenn ja, ist es unterliegt cancelreplace War es bereits eine partielle Füllung, die Würde eine Position beeinflussen Wie wird eine solche Situation behandelt Alle diese Probleme können beeinflussen, wie ein Auftrag behandelt werden soll. Darüber hinaus ist die Messaging-Logik, die Broker und andere Marktzentren verwenden, um diese Ausführungsinformationen zu übermitteln, weit davon entfernt, konsistent zu sein. Als solche müssten Benutzer von grundlegenden CEPs eine enorme Menge an Zeit und Energie verbringen, die sicherstellt, dass ihr System diese verschiedenen Messaging-Protokolle handhaben und normalisieren kann. Bei Portware ist das Zustands - und Positionsmanagement jedoch eine integrierte Komponente von Strategy Server. Strategy Server lässt sich problemlos in jeden Marktdaten-Feed integrieren. Anders als das Floß der Verarbeitungsmaschinen auf dem Markt, ist Portware Strategy Server mit vorgefertigten, robusten Marktdatenhandlern ausgestattet. Darüber hinaus unterstützt das Produkt den Full-Load-Ausgleich mehrerer Feeds sowie die Entwicklung, Anpassung und Normalisierung von anspruchsvollen Feeds, die mit Drittanbieter-Feeds kombiniert und segmentweise pro Assetklasse oder einem beliebigen anderen Parameter kombiniert werden können. Strategy Server-Benutzer können auch eine Portwares-Backtest-Suite einsetzen, die jahrelange historische Marktdaten abspielen kann, wodurch ein algorithmischer Entwicklungsprozess ermöglicht wird, in dem Benutzer sich effizient vom Testen zur Produktion bewegen können. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht eine anpassbare Simulator Clients, ihre eigenen proprietären Testfälle zu entwickeln. Portware FX bietet Händlern eine Echtzeitansicht des gesamten FX-Marktes durch eine einzige, vollständig anpassbare Front-End-Handelsumgebung. Dies ist gepaart mit algorithmischen Strategien der nächsten Generation, leistungsstarken Analysen und einer durchgängigen Workflow-Integration, die den Anwendern eine überzeugende und komplette FX-Handelslösung bieten.

Portwares offenbart Preismodell ermöglicht es Kunden, ihre Kredit-und Beziehungen für eine optimale Preisgestaltung und Größe beim Handel mit Brokern zu nutzen, während unsere umfassende ECN-Aggregation Kunden bietet gestrafften Zugang zu allen alternativen Handelsplätze.

Portware FX unterstützt Spot, Forwards, Swaps und NDFs.

Portware FX integriert sich nahtlos in alle Ordermanagementsysteme (OMSs) sowie alle nachgelagerten Trade Reporting - und Abstimmungssysteme wie Traiana und Logiscope. Das System unterstützt alle internen Compliance-Regeln und eingeschränkten Brokerlisten, wodurch das Risikomanagement am Front-Office erfolgt. Clients können Portware vor Ort bereitstellen oder Portwares globale Cloud-Lösung einsetzen, um den Betriebskostenaufwand zu reduzieren, die Bereitstellung zu vereinfachen und den Zugang zu allen Liquiditätsanbietern zu erleichtern. In der heutigen konkurrenzfähigen globalen Handelsumgebung müssen Vermögensverwalter die Ausführungsperformance maximieren und die Traffic-Effizienz steigern, unter Beibehaltung der Beziehungen zu Brokern und der Optimierung der Provisionsbudgets.

Email: abowmanfactset Phone: 1 (203) 810 2144 To stand out in a crowd of trading-software competitors, a company needs technology and innovation as table stakes. Portware had that in early 2012 -- the New York-based company was 12 years old, and investment firms were running an aggregate 3 trillion in assets on its execution management systems. But growth had slowed, and Portwares board, in search of new energy and ideas, hired Alfred Eskandar, a member of the founding team of buy-side trading platform Liquidnet, as CEO. Today, Portwares managed-assets total is 10 trillion, payback on product initiatives like Alpha Vision, which introduced real-time predictive analytics to the process of optimizing execution strategy. Portwares transformation may have only just begun, because it was acquired by financial information company FactSet Research Systems in October for 265 million in cash. Portware, a FactSet company and the first and only global provider of multi-asset trade automation solutions powered by artificial intelligence, today announced that Wall Street Letter recognized Portware for the fourth year in a row with the prestigious WSL Institutional Trading Award for Best FX Trading Platform.

Updated Business Outlook for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2016 The following forward-looking statements reflect FactSets expectations as of todays date. Given the number of risk factors, uncertainties and assumptions discussed below, actual results may differ materially. FactSet does not intend to update its forward-looking statements until its next quarterly results announcement, other than in publicly available statements. First Quarter Fiscal 2016 Expectations (the expectations below include the results from the acquisition of Portware) Revenues are expected to range between 270 million and 274 million. Operating margin is expected to range between 32.0 and 33.0. The annual effective tax rate is expected to range between 31.0 and 32.0, and assumes the U. S. Federal RampD tax credit will not be re-enacted by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2016. GAAP diluted EPS should range between 1.44 and 1.46. Transaction fees of approximately 1 million related to the Portware acquisition have been excluded from this GAAP diluted EPS range. The lapse in the U. S. Federal RampD tax credit on December 31, 2014, reduced each end of the GAAP diluted EPS range by 0.02 compared to the recently completed fourth quarter. If the U. S. Federal RampD tax credit is re-enacted by November 30, 2015, diluted EPS would range between 1.49 and 1.51. FactSet would also recognize an income tax benefit of 0.14 per share if the RampD tax credit could be retroactively applied to previous periods.

Portware Enterprise is a fully customizable execution management system designed to act as a central platform for the creation and execution of algorithmic trading strategies for global equities, futures, options and FX. Portware is not affiliated with any broker, giving our clients unconflicted access to the widest range of liquidity providers, broker algorithmic suites and trading destinations worldwide. Portware Enterprise is currently used by more than 100 firms worldwide, including many of the worlds largest and most sophisticated trading firms. On the buy side, Portware is used by leading institutional investment firms, alternative asset managers and quantitative hedge funds. On the sell-side, Portware is used by program, principal and agency traders to automate all aspects of their client order flow. Portware Enterprises open API allows for seamless integration with any third party or proprietary trade workflow applications, including OMSs, tick databases, risk and analytics applications, trade reporting systems and TCA services. Portware can be deployed, monitored and modified from a single, central location. Users can deploy custom rules, libraries and user interfaces, as well as monitor system health and statistics of Portware installations across the enterprise. Clients can install Portware Enterprise onsite, or leverage Portwares global cloud solution for streamlined deployment and ease of access to all global liquidity providers. Unlike legacy ASP trading systems, Portwares cloud-based Enterprise offering delivers the same levels of performance, integration and customization as locally installed Enterprise solutions. Portware offers pre-certified adapters for all commercial market data providers, including Reuters, Bloomberg, Activ, IDC, Wombat, etc. The system can also integrate with any custom or proprietary feed. Portware supports both single and multi-user configurations for basket, order and position sharing. Portware Strategy Server is a powerful algorithmic engine designed specifically for high volume, high-frequency automated order management. Strategy Server allows users to create complex trading strategies and algorithms in a dedicated, highly secure trading environment. It can be used independently as a stand-alone, black box trading solution, or in tandem with Portware Enterprise to address specific algorithmic development and trading requirements. In either case, Strategy Server can process a massive number of orders and their associated message traffic, routing orders to any global market destination via integrated, pre-certified FIX connections. There are numerous event processing engines on the market today that promise real-time data analysis in one form or another. Yet while the results of various messages-per-second bake-off analyses make for interesting academic discussion, none of these engines offer the full trading solution that Strategy Server delivers. Indeed, beyond basic event processing, these engines offer little else. Portware Strategy Server, on the other hand, combines hyper-fast CEP with the complete set of trading-specific functionality. Portware Strategy Server provides out of the box, pre-certified connections to over 500 global market destinations, including brokers, algorithmic strategies, ATSs, exchanges, and ECNs. Whether you trade Equities, Foreign Exchange, Futures or Options, Strategy Server provides a comprehensive, fully integrated solution for all your routing needs. Strategy Servers flexible, open architecture allows a firm to easily deploy, run and back test custom algorithmic strategies. Users can take advantage of Strategy Servers API to implement advanced, proprietary algorithms for multiple assets, either independently or as part of complex multi-asset trading strategies. And because Strategy Server operates as a separate trading environment, users can update algorithms in Strategy Server on the fly without compromising the stability of their overall trading system. When used in conjunction with client workstations such as those deployed as part of a Portware Enterprise installation, users can route orders from their desktops directly to proprietary and third-party algorithms deployed in Strategy Server. Unlike other basic CEPs, Portware Strategy Server offers full state and position management. Why is this important Portware maintains a complete view of the lifecycle of a particular trade. Is it a single ticket entry Is it a child order, a small part of a larger order that might itself be part of a larger basket level strategy Has the order been accepted If so, is it subject to cancelreplace Was there already a partial fill that would affect ones position How is such a situation handled All of these issues can affect how an order should be handled. Furthermore, the messaging logic that brokers and other market centers use to convey this execution information is far from consistent. As such, users of basic CEPs would have to spend a tremendous amount of time and energy ensuring that their system can handle and normalize these various messaging protocols. With Portware, however, state and position management is an integrated component of Strategy Server. Strategy Server can be easily integrated with any market data feed. Unlike the raft of processing engines on the market, Portware Strategy Server comes equipped with pre-built, robust market data handlers. In addition, the product supports full load balancing of multiple feeds as well as development, customization and normalization of propriety feeds which can be combined with 3rd-party feeds and segmented per asset-class or any other parameter. Strategy Server users can also employ Portwares back-testing suite, which can play back years of historical market data, facilitating an algorithmic development process in which users can move efficiently from testing to production. Additionally, a customizable simulator allows clients to develop their own proprietary test cases. Portware FX provides traders with a real-time view of the entire FX marketplace through a single, fully customizable front end trading environment. This is coupled with next generation algorithmic strategies, powerful analytics and end-to-end workflow integration, providing users with a compelling and complete FX trading solution.

Email: abowmanfactset Phone: 1 (203) 810 2144 To stand out in a crowd of trading-software competitors, a company needs technology and innovation as table stakes. Portware had that in early 2012 -- the New York-based company was 12 years old, and investment firms were running an aggregate 3 trillion in assets on its execution management systems.

Today, Portwares managed-assets total is 10 trillion, payback on product initiatives like Alpha Vision, which introduced real-time predictive analytics to the process of optimizing execution strategy.

Updated Business Outlook for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2016 The following forward-looking statements reflect FactSets expectations as of todays date. Given the number of risk factors, uncertainties and assumptions discussed below, actual results may differ materially. FactSet does not intend to update its forward-looking statements until its next quarterly results announcement, other than in publicly available statements. First Quarter Fiscal 2016 Expectations (the expectations below include the results from the acquisition of Portware) Revenues are expected to range between 270 million and 274 million. Operating margin is expected to range between 32.0 and 33.0. The annual effective tax rate is expected to range between 31.0 and 32.0, and assumes the U. S. Federal RampD tax credit will not be re-enacted by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2016. GAAP diluted EPS should range between 1.44 and 1.46. Transaction fees of approximately 1 million related to the Portware acquisition have been excluded from this GAAP diluted EPS range. The lapse in the U. S. Federal RampD tax credit on December 31, 2014, reduced each end of the GAAP diluted EPS range by 0.02 compared to the recently completed fourth quarter. If the U. S. Federal RampD tax credit is re-enacted by November 30, 2015, diluted EPS would range between 1.49 and 1.51. FactSet would also recognize an income tax benefit of 0.14 per share if the RampD tax credit could be retroactively applied to previous periods.
