"More of a Mind Set than a Job"

Our work relies on a team of technology and software experts who maintain and develop proprietary electronic trading and risk evaluation platforms that not only give us the edge – they are raising the industry standard.

It means that profit opportunities and trading strategies are efficiently highlighted. It means that we can provide the best two-way prices and that complex transactions can be risk-managed in real-time.

Software

Mako’s proprietary software is divided into three subsystems:

A real time pricing and risk management system built upon a scalable, distributed, thin-client, demand-driven, clientserver architecture.

A point-to-point order routing architecture that connects with all major electrical exchanges, ECN’s and information providers.

A back office system that is highly integrated with the front office, offering full reconciliation of all trading activity, fees, dividends and interest to each clearer.

The right team to deliver

Technology enhances trading, it does not dictate the way we work. Through first hand experience, our support team have a thorough understanding of the business. This ensures maximum efficiency and maintains the all-important relationship between the service we offer and the technology we develop to deliver it.

It also allows us to be more agile in developing tailor made systems to meet individual requirements. When a trader has a creative idea to improve the way he does his job, a dedicated team of financial engineers and software developers gets to work and builds it. That is how things get accomplished at Mako.
