New automated capability optimizes position and hedging strategies to manage

market risk

London, UK – June 30th 2021: KX, a worldwide leader in real-time streaming

analytics, has today announced enhancements to KX Flow, its white-label foreign

exchange trading platform. The enhancements help financial institutions better

manage market risk, with a new automated capability to optimise position and

hedging strategies. Additional pricing and connectivity improvements further optimize

pricing streams and enhance flexibility.

New auto hedging capabilities extend hedging logic based on trade and position

size, as well as on realised, unrealised and total P&L per book. Risk can now be

organized into multiple books, each with their own positions and hedging rules.

These rules can be configured in real-time using a range of order types and smart

order routing for optimized execution and profitability.

“With the new KX Flow auto hedging capabilities, financial institutions can better

control their risk through comprehensive rules-based position management tools that

allow them to dynamically analyse and update pricing and risk profiles in real-time,”

said Rich Kiel, Global Head of FX Solutions, KX. “Aligning this with KX’s market

leading pre and post trade analytics provides real-time, intelligent insights enabling

our clients to achieve better execution while reducing risk and optimising their

profitability.”

Today’s announcement also includes support for Rolling Books, Settled Books, new

order types such as TWAP, Peg and Stop orders and a function to close all

workflows at any point in time. Additional pricing and connectivity improvements

include:

 New tier spot pricing allows for different mark-ups depending on which multi-

bank portal (e.g. 360T, FXall and BBG FXGo) is utilized, while support for

Request for Stream (RFS) and Executable Streaming Pricing (ESP)

optimizes transactions for these trading styles. Additionally, taker markup

enhancements add flexibility to how financial institutions can electronically

add margin to client pricing requests.

 Increased 3rd party connectivity gives financial institutions access to a range

of Multi Bank Platforms (MBPs) such as LSEG FXAll, Bloomberg FXGO

and Deutsche Börse 360T. No matter which channels banks need to reach

their clients through in the increasingly fragmented FX marketplace, KX

Flow provides a one-stop-shop to enable client connectivity via MBP’s,

direct API, or white-label HTML5 GUI, across banks, non-bank LPs and

leading ECNs.
