Trade Idea Monitor (the TIM)

Clients place increasing value on brokers' trade ideas, but need tools to identify and measure quality. Brokers want to demonstrate the value of their ideas, control the flow of communication to clients, and ensure information is compliant and secure. The TIM is a powerful on-demand application for the creation, measurement and secure delivery of trade ideas from authors (mainly brokers) to recipients (mainly buy-side clients).

Benefits the TIM provides to brokers:

• Control – Managers control idea publication, internal idea viewing, and idea updating.
• Measurement – Authorised staff view performance of ideas and idea portfolios against benchmarks and other ideas. Sales management reward staff for performance, volume, and customer value. Brokers measure and communicate the value their ideas create for clients.
• Compliance – Compliance staff manage disclaimers, authors, and email messages while viewing current and historical ideas.
• Integration – The TIM operates within your portal or imbedded in existing applications, with no additional sign-on and matches your colour and format standards.

Benefits the TIM provides to fund managers:

• Search – Proprietary and buy-side traders screen ideas, for example, to search for hedges or for ideas in particular sectors from authors with a proven track record.
• Momentum – Users analyse market momentum by aggregating ideas and viewing statistics such as long and short idea value.
• Measurement – Traders compare the performance of internal and external research and sales organisations.
• Alerts – Users tailor their alert criteria – for example to receive email alerts for ideas where they hold a current position.
