Atlantic Equities Selects Itiviti’s OMS, Replaces Bloomberg
- Itiviti's platform will also help the brokerage prepare for Brexit.

Itiviti’s Multi-Asset Multi-Asset Composed of varying asset classes, multi-asset is a blanket designation combining different classes such bonds, equities, cash equivalents, fixed income, and alternative investments.When compared to traditional balanced funds, multi-asset solutions differ because they target specific investment outcomes. This includes outcomes such as return above inflation as opposed to gauging performance against standardized benchmarks.Given the composition of multi-asset classes, they need to be dynamically managed so that funds can continue to generate returns while keeping risk within fixed parameters. What Are Advantages or Disadvantages to Multi-Asset Investments?While multi-asset investing may better distribute risk, it should be known that a hindrance may be exerted upon potential returns.Indeed, multi-asset classes do not always perform as well as most stock funds due to containing other assets such as cash, bonds, or real estate investments. As a result, traders generally tend to gravitate towards target-date mutual funds, target allocation mutual funds, and ETFs.Multi-asset funds that fluctuate with an investor’s time scope are target-date mutual funds. Generally, target-date mutual funds run in congruence with an investor’s retirement age and are composed primarily of equities (85% to 90%) while the remaining is distributed to a money market or fixed income. Target allocation mutual funds are centered around an investor’s risk tolerance and are offered by most mutual fund companies. Equities compose between 20% to 85% of multi-asset funds and may also include international equities and bonds.Trading ETFs through contracts-for-difference (CFD) trading provides traders with a more immediate avenue to multi-asset investing with financial instruments such as precious metals, commodities, and currencies. The diversification that stems from the wake of multi-asset investing helps protect traders against unforeseen market pitfalls and volatility. However, these tend not to perform as effectively as the majority of stock funds in common years due to an allocation of assets.

Atlantic Equities to use Itiviti OMS for Brexit Brexit Brexit stands for British Exit, or in reference to the United Kingdom’s decision to formally leave the European Union (EU) as declared in a June 23, 2016 referendum. In a more immediate sense, a tight vote and unexpected result helped drive British pound (GBP) to lows that had not been seen in decades. The day following the referendum, former Prime Minister David Cameron resigned from office where he was replaced by Theresa May, who later resigned from office on June 7th, 2019. Active Prime Minister Boris Johnson was elected Prime Minister the following month, who was well-known as a headstrong Brexit supporter. While the United Kingdom was predicted to leave exit the EU by October 31st, 2019, the U.K. Parliament sought out a deadline extension that delayed voting on the new deal. Following Boris Johnson’s reelection, Brexit occurred on January 31st, 2020 at 11 pm Greenwich Mean Time. Brexit Creating Ongoing Issues in with Europe While the United Kingdom is in a transition period following its departure from the EU, the U.K. is negotiating its complete trade relationship with the EU, which is the United Kingdom’s largest trade partner. Terms of this trade agreement must be met by January 1st, 2021. Should terms of this trade agreement take longer than the projected resolution date of January 1st, 2021 then the U.K. must acquire an extension no later than June 1st, 2020. Failure to do so will result in the U.K. is subject to tariff and host rule changes exercised by the E.U. This situation is referred to as the “no-deal” Brexit and should this occur the consequences could result in a significant fallout of the U.K. economy. For the past few years, many banks and lenders operating previously in the UK had been given passporting rights to the European continent. The lingering uncertainty caused by Brexit resulted in many of these lenders relocating their European headquarters within continental Europe.
