FlexONE Extends Global Industry Awards Momentum into 2026
March 2, 2026 | By: Iain Smith
Overview
FlexTrade’s FlexONE has been named “Best Buy-Side OMS” at the A-Team TradingTech Insight Awards in London. This industry recognition, awarded by an industry judging panel and a public vote, reflects FlexTrade’s continued commitment to innovation and client‑driven development.
Over the past 12 months, we’ve continued to invest in building out core trading engines across pre-trade compliance, allocations, order marking, locates, crossing, merging, and pairs trading. Recent improvements to core OEMS functionality include cross-asset pairs, relative-value pairs, hedging workflows, intelligent cash-versus-swap position management, and futures rolling and stitching.
FlexTrade has also expanded the FlexONE ecosystem with the launch of an integrated Data Warehouse, capturing essential trading data and analytics directly within the platform, and FlexONE Mobile app – a fully native iOS and Android app designed for traders, portfolio managers, operations, compliance, IT, and business teams to access trading functionality and critical insights on the go.
“We are continuing to see growing momentum for FlexONE across all regions. From new fund launches and spinouts to the largest long/short, macro, and multi-strategy funds, firms are increasingly choosing FlexONE as their strategic Order and Execution Management System (OEMS).
Our investment in the platform is clearly resonating with clients. Continued enhancements to our unique core trading engines, as well as innovations like the FlexONE Data Warehouse and FlexONE Mobile App, demonstrate our commitment to providing a modern, scalable OEMS that meets the evolving needs of the global buy side.”

What sets FlexONE apart from the Competition?
Seamlessly Integrated Multi-Asset, Multi-Strategy OEMS
FlexTrade’s FlexONE™ is an all-inclusive multi-asset Order and Execution Management System (OEMS) designed to meet the complex trading requirements of global hedge funds, asset managers, sovereign wealth funds, and asset owners.
The solution features comprehensive multi-asset, multi-strategy capabilities, including high capacity and throughput, robust compliance, risk management, and portfolio management, as well as unique trading functionalities such as centralized order marking, automatic short locates, crossing, merging, and pairs trading.
30 Years of Innovation within Multi-Asset Trading
Now in its 30th anniversary year since incorporation, FlexTrade delivers cutting-edge trading technology to buy-side and sell-side institutions, driven by both in-house research and development and client collaboration. As one of the few truly independent vendors in the market, our private ownership gives us the freedom to innovate on our own terms- unconflicted by ownership or parent firm.
Dedicated, Specialized Service from Implementation Through Business‑as‑Usual
FlexTrade partners with clients as a true technology partner, not a traditional vendor. The approach moves beyond software delivery to provide long-term, strategic support.
A defining feature of FlexONE implementations is continuity. The same expert team that implements the platform remains responsible for the ongoing client relationship. For hedge funds, this consistency is critical.
As hedge funds scale, expand into new asset classes, and diversify trading strategies, they rely on a FlexTrade team with deep knowledge of their set-up and workflows. This enables the rapid delivery of new asset coverage, purpose-built trading functionality, and seamless integrations with innovative third‑party data sources and trading technologies.
