FXCM Pro, the institutional arm of FX brokerage firm FXCM Group, has announced that it is partnering with Centroid, a leading provider of Foreign Exchange (FX) technology solutions.

The partnership will provide FXCM Pro’s institutional clients with a range of automated risk management solutions from Centroid. The partnership will aim to supplement trader confidence by mitigating the risks posed by legacy technology still in use on major trading platforms.

Centroid’s technology provides its clients with sophisticated risk management services and real-time analytics derived from extensive industry knowledge during a time of fluctuating market conditions. Given increasing trading activity recently, harnessing optimised low-latency solutions will be a key step for traders looking to mitigate risk and reduce operational costs without sacrificing efficiency.

The company said that the partnership shows FXCM Pro’s commitment to cultivating a modernised FX trading ecosystem as Centroid’s customisable technology can be onboarded quickly and without disrupting trading or wider business operations.

Available across a range of trading platforms, FXCM Pro clients now have access to Centroid’s all-in-one suite of trading technology to manage and monitor risk, optimise execution, and observe regulatory requirements through automated reporting from a single framework.

With this partnership, FXCM Pro clients will have access to one of the latest and most advanced risk mitigation solutions, all the while benefiting from FXCM Pro’s institutional liquidity.

Richard Bartlett, Head of Business Development at Centroid Solutions, commented on the partnership:

“Establishing this partnership with FXCM Pro creates significant added value to the client bases of both firms. Both companies share the same ethos and ongoing commitment to offering the very latest tools and services to the market for both existing and new clients alike, therefore, establishing such an alliance was a natural move. The current FX landscape is a very challenging environment to operate in, so having the best of breed liquidity solution coupled with next generation risk management is essential for our respective clients to maintain efficiency and at the same time maximise performance results. We are excited to bring this to the market.”

Together, we are delivering unique solutions for managing, monitoring, and reporting risk to clients at a very critical time.
