Our outsourcing services
The growing complexity of financial markets and increased regulatory constraints have led to specific execution options being put in place via the buy-side trading desk and the Middle Office.
Buy-Side Desk
CIC Market Solutions enables financial institutions to outsource the execution of their stock market orders via a buy-side desk that ensures execution quality, handles the search for liquidity, and provides market intelligence. It also responds to best selection obligations and helps manage relations with counterparties, as well as their execution rating. Certain desks also handle the RPA (Research Payment Account).
Access to our Buy-Side Desk improves the performances of clients' funds while lowering costs.
Middle Office
The Middle Office provides daily assistance for clients and operates on a dedicated and secure IT system. In its role as a facilitator, the Middle Office manages electronic confirmations with execution brokers. In the pre-matching phase, its teams thus validate the valuations of trades.
