ALTA™ is designed to handle the client/sales/trading workflow requirements of over-the-counter securities and is integrated within the dealer’s existing technology platform.  These instruments typically include convertible bonds, corporate bonds, equities and OTC equity/credit derivatives.  The most important broker dealer needs for these security types fall into five categories:

• Selective publishing of dealing prices and inventory
• Integrated client inquiry and order management
• Complex compliance requirements
• Predictive historical data regarding client interest
• Counter party searching tools

Intelligent Markets is unique among vendors in handling these requirements. In addition to satisfying the needed client/sales/trading workflows, ALTA™ fully complies with all existing and proposed regulations (including OATS Phase III) that pertain to workflow documentation and trading protocols.  In addition, Intelligent Markets is the only vendor that handles “contingent” orders; meaning multiple orders that need to be executed collectively rather than separately.

Client Extensions

ALTA™ is deployed to selected institutional buy-side clients of dealers who use ALTA™ on their trading desks.  Institutional clients are able to view real time prices and trading opportunities as well as conduct electronic trading, order entry and online negotiations with participating dealers.  Integration with client OMS and back office systems is available to improve processing costs for both money managers and dealers.
