By outsourcing trading operations to UBS Execution Hub, clients can reduce complexity and improve cost efficiency without compromising execution quality.

Chris Blackburn, Chief Operating Officer at UBS Execution Hub, commented, “We are excited to partner with FlexTrade so UBS Execution Hub can provide a comprehensive outsourced execution solution, leveraging our longstanding buy-side execution experience and extensive cross asset liquidity network for the benefit our clients. ”

“Combining our own market-leading technology alongside FlexTrade’s track record with buy-side trading desks provides the foundation to extend our global outsourced execution offering to additional client segments.”
