Trade Execution Automation for Investment Dealers

Let your AI agent handle multi-asset orders, compliance checks, and trade confirmations so you can focus on client relationships and market strategy.

As an investment dealer, you spend hours each week switching between Bloomberg Terminal, Excel, and email to place orders and reconcile trades. Every manual entry increases the risk of errors and regulatory issues. Instead of growing your book, you’re stuck in repetitive admin work.

An AI agent that carries out, confirms, and logs securities trades for investment dealers, reducing manual work and compliance risk.

What this replaces

Cross-check every order against IIROC and FINRA rules manually

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In the capital markets industry, registered representatives and trading assistants at investment dealers waste significant time manually entering trades into order management systems like Fidessa, compiling confirmations in Excel, and logging transactions for audit trails. Each step is prone to human error and requires constant double-checking to meet IIROC and FINRA compliance. These manual workflows slow down trade processing and divert attention from high-value client work.
