Beyond Compliance: Leveraging MiFID Opportunities

Wombat’s strategic focus for Europe is to provide the necessary framework to facilitate the trading of fungible instruments across a disparate and, to some extent, de-regulated European marketplace. Stepping beyond mere MiFID compliance, Wombat’s objective has been to provide its customers with an opportunity to reap the benefits of a more open and transparent trading landscape.

As financial institutions adapt to satisfy the new rules on pre-trade transparency and post-trade reporting, it is
forecast that the growth in market data volumes will gain renewed momentum. As a consequence, the normalisation and consolidation of related trade and quote data from a variety of cross-border sources will become even more complex and difficult to achieve.

The Wombat Market Data Platform is well placed to meet these new demands. Wombat technology was designed from the outset to handle the high volumes of the already fragmented North American marketplace and, as a result, an enterprise class front-to-back market data solution is on offer to capitalise on the opportunities presented in a post-MiFID environment.

Key elements of the offering include:

  • Wombat SuperBook: Wombat’s flagship MiFID product providing a consolidated real-time order book view of available liquidity across all relevant exchanges.
  • Wombat SuperTrade: a consolidated view of all trades across the various exchanges allowing subscribers to make well informed judgements based on current trading activity.
  • Wombat Acumen Complex Event Processing Framework: a real-time event processing cluster for fast
    deployment of custom built analytics and electronic trading strategies.
  • Low latency feed handlers for all MiFID Exchanges and associated trade reporting facilities (e.g. BOAT).
  • The Wombat Middleware backbone with support for a variety of vendor products including Tibco’s Rendezvous®, 29West’s LBM® and Wombat’s own messaging solutions, Wombat Middleware and
    Wombat Data Fabric.
  • Wombat Data Dissemination Platform: a means for customers to distribute internally generated real-time
    data, such as MiFID-required trades and quotes to external recipients.
