Impact Pro is an execution and order management platform developed by Advanced Financial Application (AFA) to streamline the trade execution process.
Daniel Kinsella, senior vice president of institutional trading at Kildare Capital, said: Kildare chose AFA to provide another technological solution for our clients needs. Trading technology will be a key issue for many sub $1 billion funds in the next few years. Speed and quality of execution, coupled with increasing regulatory scrutiny, and demand for electronic audit trails crystallizes the need for these funds to seriously address their trading system in the coming years. The ability to trade on one platform that handles multiple prime brokers is the unique flexibility of the Impact Pro platform. We decided to partner with AFA over other competing firms, since it has the best overall combination of technology, functionality and customer support.
Patrick Lynch, CEO of AFA, said: We are committed to forging strategic relationships that enable brokers to provide their institutional clients with a combined EMS/OMS trading application. By having Impact Pro, hedge funds are able to utilize a platform that satisfies not just trade execution needs but the entire trade work flow in a cost-effective manner. We look forward to working with and on behalf of Kildare so that it can offer end clients a technology that can ultimately contribute to improved performance throughout the entire trading process.
