IHS Markit partners with Adroit to deliver multi-asset execution via thinkFolio

We have partnered with Adroit Trading Technologies to deliver access to their leading multi-asset execution management capabilities via our thinkFolio investment management platform, with coverage that spans global FICC and equities markets, including bonds, FX, leveraged loans, and the most complex OTC derivatives. We have worked together to successfully integrate data and round-trip execution workflows.

Adroit's EMS empowers buyside traders with access to key liquidity and data providers. From its origins in the OTC and fixed income space, Adroit has built exceptional capabilities across asset classes, including FX and listed products. As a result, it allows market participants to simplify their operating models by consolidating multi-asset execution management on a single platform.

Integration between thinkFolio and Adroit offers mutual clients end-to-end capabilities throughout the investment process and tackles the many nuances of OTC market microstructure. The integrated solution facilitates portfolio analysis, portfolio construction, security selection, order generation, order management, market data aggregation and execution across all relevant trading protocols and liquidity channels.

"Adroit is an excellent fit for thinkFolio and our client base," said Brett Schechterman, Global Head of thinkFolio at IHS Markit. "Like thinkFolio, Adroit is built on a deep understanding of the complexities of the fixed income market and supports clients across asset classes. The Adroit team also share our belief in the importance of flexibility and interoperability. Together we look forward to helping mutual clients streamline their operations, consolidate their technology footprint and empower decision-making in the front office."

"We are excited to bring our cross-asset trading technology expertise to thinkFolio's sophisticated client base," said Greg Azrak, Head of Business Development, Adroit.
