Notice Title
WYPF Investment Order Management System
Notice Description
WYPF is moving forward to achieve the HMG requirement to work with other LGPS entities to form a larger pension pool entity that will seek FCA authorisation for its ongoing regulatory oversight. To achieve this, we have identified a number of key changes that are required and one of the these will be addressed by the procurement of an Investment Order Management System. The system we will procure must be able to provide full trade management support, be able to communicate with our existing service providers and have global as well as UK trade support capabilities. To ensure the system is appropriate we will need the chosen system to have a proven historic and ongoing usage providing trade support to at least three FCA regulated Asset Management companies with assets under management exceeding PS10Billion.
