Recognition from Risk.net’s Asia editorial team underscores Quod’s growing role in helping Asia-Pacific asset managers and hedge funds modernise their trading desks
SINGAPORE / LONDON — October 22nd, 2026 — Quod Financial, a provider of multi-asset institutional trading technology, today announced that it has won Buy-side trading system of the year at the Risk Asia Awards 2026. The award was presented at the ceremony in Singapore on 22 October.
The Risk Asia Awards are the longest-running awards programme for firms active in Asia-Pacific derivatives and risk management. Winners are chosen through an independent process led by Risk.net’s Asia editorial team, and the technology categories recognise solution providers that make a measurable difference to financial services firms in the region.
The Buy-side trading system of the year award recognises Quod’s multi-asset order and execution management system (O/EMS), which gives asset managers and hedge funds a single platform for high-touch and low-touch trading. Built on Unity, Quod’s modular, open architecture, the platform combines OMS, EMS, smart order routing, algorithmic trading and venue connectivity, so firms deploy only the components they need.
Key capabilities for buy-side desks include:
- Pre-trade compliance – orders are checked automatically against best execution, allocation and regulatory rules before they reach the market.
- Automated workflows – client order compression, netting and configurable price agreements reduce manual intervention and operational cost.
- Multi-asset coverage – equities, ETFs, derivatives, FX and funds on one system, with native connectivity to venues across Asia-Pacific and global markets.
- Algorithmic execution and TCA – algos with backtesting, plus post-trade analytics and best-execution reporting.
Medan Gabbay, Co-CEO of Quod Financial, said: “We are honoured to be recognised by Risk.net’s Asia editorial team. Buy-side firms across Asia-Pacific are trading more asset classes, across more venues, under closer regulatory scrutiny than ever. They need the same level of automation and configurability their brokers have long relied on. This award reflects the work our teams have done alongside our clients to deliver exactly that, and we look forward to supporting more firms in the region.“
