Rostro Group (www.rostro.com), a Prime Brokerage and Capital Markets FinTech group of companies and the parent of Scope Markets, announced the integration of the Iress Order Management System into its platform, enabling professional traders and institutional investors to access a wider range of exchange-traded securities. The integration allows clients to execute and clear both OTC and on-exchange markets using Iress' trading infrastructure, complementing Rostro's existing API connectivity.
Michael Ayres, Group CEO at Rostro, commented, "We have been building out our reputation as a multi-asset, multi-market broker, attracting significant volumes of new business as a result. This integration allows us to add full DMA capabilities to our offering, facilitating access to an even wider range of exchanges and instruments. The Iress technology enables us to significantly accelerate our growth plans, which extends our market reach by placing our execution and product offering alongside that of many of the world's leading institutions."
Sam Steele, Chief Investment Officer at Rostro, stated, "Customers can gain access to over 40,000 instruments, across Equities, both swap and cash, alongside our offering of FX, Metals, Fixed Income and Commodities. We continue to scale our high touch service catering to a strong customer experience, alongside the expanding technology capabilities to enhance their trading and investment needs. Iress, as a companion to our proprietary back-office suite, means our clients are able to gain access to extensive market coverage with the ability to also provide bespoke reporting to the end user."
Debbie Kaye, Head of Iress UK Trading, added, "We are delighted to welcome Rostro to Iress. This onboarding offers Rostro's clients seamless access to trade CFDs, as well as Equity Options, via Iress Order Management system. Our cloud-native FIX Hub also provides connectivity to a broad pool of institutional trading brokers across global markets".
Connecting to Rostro liquidity via Iress remains subject to standard onboarding and due diligence processes, though the integration simplifies the technical aspect. Rostro clients can now access the complete range of products, instruments, and execution strategies through Iress Viewpoint, Iress Professional, and Bloomberg EMSX.
