Production I) SBLK – Auto Settlement System
A tool automatically settles security trades for investment managers by passing it to the global custodian(s) or the back-office bookkeeping system(s) through SWIFT (Globally), or Omgeo CTM (USA), or SS&C SSCNET or FMCNET (Canada). While passing the trades, the tool also automatically generates settlement blocks for the client, so that the settlement cost is reduced dramatically. In order to meet some specified requirements for some clients or in some countries, SBLK can also break the settlement block into $50MM each or any other predefined maximal amount of a block, as well as generate n-level of block record based on the portfolio structure of a client.
This tool also includes several code maintenance functions, such as for cross reference, safekeeping, exchange market, country code, currency code, etc. If requires, the tool also automatically converts the trade from one to another layout among following 16 electrical file layouts or interfaces: SWIFT, Omgeo MTI, Omgeo OASYS import and export, SS&C SSCNet or FMCNet import and export, ADP Intact message, ISM Import and export, Advent Geneva Import and Export, RBC Dexia Custodian Import, TD Waterhouse Import, BMO STEP Import, Merrill Lynch Custodian Import, Morgan Stanley Custodian Import, Empire Life Import, Adevent Geneva System, Eagle STAR, SS&C Pacer and CGI MPower/MVest. Beyond it, due to the exclusive design of this tool, the file layout handled by SBLK is open, so the tool accepts/generates any input/output trade file whenever the client requires and with the help of AIPmxsoft.

Production II) TAS – Trade Allocate System
A tiny tool runs in a single-user version but captures fully and/or partially filled trades swiftly from the front office trading system directly for the clients of a brokerage house or an investment manager. Current version of TAS can capture following types of trade: Equity (Stock), Fixed Income, Money Market, Foreign Exchange, Future, Option, Equity Swap. Once the trade (i.e. trade block) is in, TAS allows the user to allocate it to different portfolio or account manually or automatically by the predefined rates. Afterwards, through predefined output file(s), the created allocations are then automatically pushed to the down-stream applications, such as custodian, bookkeeping, confirmation, reporting, and/or customer site. Like SBLK, except above 16 interfaces, the file layout(s) handled in TAS is also open as long as the client requires and AIPmxsoft helps.
Except allocation function, TAS also provides following maintenance and function: commission schedule, business calendar, broker, CUID (CDS clearing customer unit identifier), FINS (DTCC financial industry number standard number), DTC clearing broker code, account, country code, SEC fee, currency code, bank identification code, clearing method, security group, security type, security id type, client, exchange market, action type, trade reporting, trade exporting, etc.
Within few steps and significantly reduced time, TAS helps the trading team to complete their daily work with direct connection between front and back office, as well as to fully control and manage their own trades on their desk in one shop.

Production III) iTAS – Internet Trade Allocate System
When TAS is moved onto Internet, it becomes iTAS. Due to lack of IT support in the existing clients of TAS, AIPmxsoft created iTAS, so that the clients are mainly focusing on the major daily business of trading and investment. Actually, iTAS can also run in an Intranet environment if the client requires. Based on TAS, iTAS allows multiple users to operate at the same time without any impact. Following the ASP (Application Service Provider) model, AIPmxsoft manages the database, application and web servers of iTAS for all the clients on a daily basis. For the security purpose, by using HTTPS and SFTP with AIPmxsoft exclusive security technology, iTAS always keeps the clients' data within a safe place and prevents from the attack of hackers through internet. An online demo of iTAS can be accessed by clicking iTAS Demo. If you require more details, please contact AIPmxsoft.
Production IV) PPMAS – AIPmxsoft Portfolio Management Accounting System
By marrying SBLK and TAS together, PPMAS connects the front office and back office in one shop, and also implement the auto settlement in real time. In addition, following new functions are also introduced into PPMAS: client management, portfolio management, cash management, model maintenance, manager management, portfolio modeling, order management, trading proposal, auto allocation, management Fee, tax calculation, invoice builder, cooperate action, security master, security pricing, exchange rate, general ledger and accounting, holdings management, activities management, performance, compliance, gain and loss, statement or reporting. This system is still in development presently, and it will be in production in next year. For detail or a demo of this application, please contact AIPmxsoft.
Production V) GFT – General File Transfer or Go For Tea
A general tool allowing the brokerage house or an investment manager to automatically and directly push their trades/transactions from the front office trading system(s) to global custodian(s) through SWIFT, or to the back office bookkeeping system(s) (such as ADP, ISM, Geneva, etc., or their own systems), or to the global confirmation system (such as Omgeo OASIS Global or Domestic, SSC&C SSCNet or FMCNet). This tool also helps the trade processing team to remove their paper order tickets by using designed edit screens, which also allows the user to edit the trades after being received from the trading system(s) and before being pushed to the down-stream system(s), so that the productivity and accuracy of trade processing are improved dramatically.

Production VI) MCT – My Cup of Tea
An automatic tool automatically moves the trade/transaction between two trade confirmation systems. For example, when a broker or an invest manager is trading globally and is dealing with different customer trading systems, more than one confirmation system then is required in the daily trading business. In order to save the cost and reduce operation error, MCT allows the user to push all the trades into only one of the confirmation systems, or transfer them from one to another system without any other software change or re-development. Current version of MCT has successfully accomplished automatically moving trades among Omgeo OASIS Global and Domestic, and SSC&C SSCNet or FMCNet.
