Albar Capital, a new hedge fund led by Javier Velazquez – formerly of Millennium Capital Partners – is now trading equities and futures using FlexNOW, FlexTrade’s new execution management system.
“The FlexNOW team was instrumental in solving several of our problems,” says Jason Ruder, Trader at Albar Capital. “Not only are they helping us with our compliance requirements, they are also responsive to requests that improve my workflow.”
According to Rhyd Lewis (pictured), FlexNOW Product Manager, FlexNOW’s quick onboarding and easy installation process was critical for Albar Capital’s launch on 2 July.
“We had no problem integrating FlexNOW with Albar’s portfolio and risk management platform, Paladyne, which allows fund managers to route orders to the dealing desk,” says Lewis. “Additionally, Albar has connectivity to their executing venues via FlexTrade’s zero-touch broker network.”
