Markit (Nasdaq: INFO), a world leader in critical information,
analytics and solutions, announced today that Evli,
the Finnish investment and asset management specialist, has gone live on
thinkFolio, the order management and portfolio modeling system.
The multi-asset class support provided by thinkFolio was the driving
factor in Evli’s decision to implement the solution from IHS Markit. The
asset manager is using thinkFolio’s full front office functionality
across order management, portfolio modeling, cash management and foreign
exchange, trading and compliance.
“We needed an investment management platform that could handle not only
equities but also fixed income, mutual funds, derivatives and foreign
exchange,” said Panu Jousimies, Head of Execution and Operations at
Evli. “thinkFolio enables us to better execute fully automated workflows
with state-of-the-art controls. This will provide strong support for our
business operations in our pursuit of growth in the domestic and
international markets.”
“As one of Finland’s largest asset managers, we are looking forward to
working with Evli on this strategic project that leverages thinkFolio’s
cross asset class strength and flexibility,” says Keith Viverito, global
head of sales for thinkFolio at IHS Markit.
Evli is also implementing the IHS Markit Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA)
platform for equities and fixed income. TCA aims to enhance Evli’s
trading-related execution quality management and streamline
performance-based order routing.
