Abel/Noser Unveils New Functionalities for Trade-Zoom™ Software

NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Abel/Noser Corp., a pioneer and leading provider of Trade Cost Analysis (TCA), today unveiled new features to its industry-leading post-trade TCA product, Trade-Zoom. The new features provide buy- and sell-side traders enhanced analytics for evaluating the quality of the executions they receive.

Trade-Zoom aggregates and measures trade information at the manager, trader, broker or venue levels, in time periods ranging from several days down to minutes. Trades are measured against several reference prices and benchmarked for difficulty and momentum. Trade-Zoom also enables users to arrange data in tabular form, drill through to underlying data and evaluate individual trades using a graphical tool.

"In today's competitive capital markets environment, TCA has never been more crucial," said Bill Conlin, CEO, Abel/Noser. "For the buy-side, minimizing trading costs is a critical component of maximizing alpha generation. For the sell-side, optimizing execution can help increase trading volumes, leading to more commission dollars."

"With over 35 years of TCA experience, Abel/Noser brings a deep understanding of what traders need to improve execution," continued Conlin. "Trade-Zoom's added functionality not only increase traders' access to actionable data, but also provides new ways to digest it. We are confident that this new version of Trade-Zoom will build on our reputation as a provider of best-in-class TCA solutions to our clients."
