management system.

Today’s trading environment is more
complex and faster paced than ever, with

gaps in the trading process—from decision
through execution to settlement—heighten
the risk of errors and can increase costs.
That’s why more than 800 investment firms
worldwide rely on Advent’s Moxy® trade
order management system.
Moxy integrates and streamlines all aspects
of the investment management process,
from portfolio construction through settlement. With easy access to critical data, a
simple interface and unmatched connectivity with counterparties, Moxy provides an
intuitive, centralized location for making and
executing trading decisions, enabling portfolio managers and traders to move quickly
in today’s more demanding marketplace.
Now: More Ways to View
and Work with Your Data
Moxy’s new Portfolio Manager dashboard
brings sharper insight and increased agility
to portfolio managers. It provides three
different views into your portfolio data that
enable you to take action on the spot:
Portfolio. A real-time view that allows you
to edit target percentages and proposed
buys and sells to fine-tune a portfolio without running a full rebalance.
Position. View and manage portfolio drift.
See where allocations have moved off target, as well as recommendations for realignment, then make adjustments directly
through the dashboard.
Security matrix. A view across all portfolios by individual security or asset class,
showing you the percentage weighting in
each portfolio.
Comprehensive Capabilities
Advanced asset allocation. The Moxy
modeling engine supports advanced asset
allocation methodologies and complex
structures.
Portfolio drift monitoring. You are automatically alerted when changes in portfolio
composition cause it to move out of line
with investment objectives.
Real-time views of trading data and cash
positions. Dashboards show you exactly
where you stand at any given time.
Comprehensive security coverage. Trade
equities, fixed income securities, and derivatives in a more streamlined manner.
Multi-currency settlement. Traders can
settle in any currency.
Highly integrated functionality. Moxy integrates easily with other Advent solutions as
well as third-party platforms.
Unmatched pre- and post-trade connectivity. Moxy connects you with multiple
custodians and trading venues, including
more than 20 algorithmic trading partners
and five of the top dark pools. Moxy’s FIX
connectivity enables you to track trades
from creation through settlement through a
single platform.
Trading compliance. Moxy’s compliance
foundation supports preventive rule checking for trading and portfolio composition
restrictions.
Electronic trading capabilities. Investors
will be able to send fixed income orders and
allocation details directly to Bloomberg and
receive executions in Moxy, eliminating the
need for dual entry in both systems.
Product Brief
With portfolio and group views it is

easy to rebalance back to targets.
