- Front-office systems: 43% of respondents reported having a single, integrated multi-asset trading platform (albeit with limitations), while 27% have deployed modular trading platforms
- Greatest challenges relating to their trading technology: 40% of respondents cited their systems’ inability to add support for new markets/instruments, while 30% cited a user interface that lacks integration, intuitiveness and configurability.
