The solution offers a complete trading solution for Direct Market Access (DMA), Algorithmic Trading and CARE as well as comprehensive risk, position management capabilities and top tier client service.  Asset Management One selected Ullink’s Xilix Pre-Trade Risk and Compliance Service to perform pre-trade, cross order and large volume compliance checks on multiple orders across multiple different trading systems.  At Asset Management One, Xilix supports best execution and transparency.
