FIS Updates Cross-Asset Platform to Support Buy-Side Strategies

FIS has announced new developments to its Cross-Asset Trading and Risk Suite, introducing updates to change how investment firms operate across increasingly complex global markets.

The platform is here as a single, integrated system that brings together trading, portfolio, position, and risk management functions. By replacing multiple disconnected tools, the suite addresses long-standing operational challenges faced by investment firms, particularly smaller players that often lack access to institutional-grade infrastructure.

Many firms continue to rely on fragmented systems and manual workflows, which can limit efficiency and restrict access to broader market opportunities. FIS said its updated platform removes these constraints by offering a unified environment that supports both public and private market strategies on the buy side.

A central element of the upgrade is the introduction of SaaS-based capabilities for alternative investments. These additions allow firms to manage a wider range of asset classes within a single framework, without the need for separate systems or integrations.

The company has also redesigned its digital dashboards, focusing on usability and real-time insights. The new interface incorporates artificial intelligence-driven tools intended to streamline workflows and assist users in making more informed trading and risk decisions.

With these changes, FIS is positioning the platform as accessible to firms of all sizes, not just large institutions. The expanded functionality supports cross-asset strategies that were traditionally limited to firms with significant resources and infrastructure.

Matt Stauffer, Head of Trading and Asset Services at FIS, said market conditions are driving the need for more flexible and integrated solutions.

“Markets are more complex than ever, and buy-side firms need cross-asset strategies to find returns. But legacy systems and manual processes are holding them back. We’re eliminating those barriers, helping firms of all sizes put their capital to work more effectively,” he said.

The announcement reflects continued activity by FIS in expanding its trading technology offerings as firms seek more streamlined and scalable systems.
