FPL Americas Buy-Side Working Group

The Americas Buy-Side working group consists of four subgroups:

Execution Venue Subgroup- The goal of this group is to standardize the reporting of the executing venue and create a rules of engagement/best practices document.

Post-Trade Subgroup- This group will work to generate best practices for different allocation methods and generate a central repository for 'best practices' that users could utilize to standardize messaging.

Risk Mitigation Symbology Subgroup- The goal of this group is to provide the financial community with risk averse tools for production validation of complex trading and portfolio management systems. The group will also establish zero-funded exchange listed testing symbology for all electronically traded assets globally.

Buyside Fixed Income Subgroup- The purpose of this group is to help encourage the adoption of FIX for fixed income.
