LONDON and NEW YORK, July 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Genesis Application Platform was named Best Technology for Trading Efficiency in the European Markets Choice Awards, presented by Markets Media Group, a leading publisher covering trading and technology in capital markets.

The platform is also proving invaluable in delivering solutions requiring a mix of new software and integration with other user systems.”

“How to be efficient in trading needs to be defined by each firm, not prescribed by a technology provider,” said Stephen Murphy, CEO and Co-Founder of Genesis Global. “The Genesis platform and Marketplace of financial industry components allow users to rapidly build highly bespoke trading solutions. With this award, Markets Media recognizes how clients use Genesis to deliver the new technologies, integrations, transaction processing and workflows which modernize their trading and operations.”

The Genesis platform provides a unified developer environment for creating full-stack applications requiring high-performance transaction processing, event-driven workflows, real-time data and other integrations and rich, interactive user experiences.

It provides a robust foundation for post-trade efficiency and regulatory compliance by automating trade matching, allocation, confirmation and other middle-office processes. TAM is also part of the Marketplace.
  • Engaged with Quantitative Brokers and X-Change Financial Access (XFA) to bring new trading technologies to complex fixed-income markets.

Banks, asset managers and trading infrastructure providers worldwide use Genesis and its platform to develop new software, enhance legacy technology systems and replace end-user computing and manual processes with enterprise-quality solutions. Among these clients, Bank of America, BNY Mellon and Citi are also strategic investors in Genesis.
