Multi-Asset Execution for Institutional Investors and Hedge Funds
Markets move fast, and opportunities disappear just as quickly. We deliver the execution and operational support hedge funds rely on to act in time.
The Obstacles Between Your Fund Strategy and the Execution It Needs
Alpha generation matters, but so does the quality of execution, clarity of costs, and responsiveness of support. When those elements degrade, even sound investment decisions produce weaker results than they should.
Your trades move the market before you're done
The real cost isn’t the commission—it’s slippage. Large buys move prices mid-execution. Sells leak intent, inviting algorithms to front-run your flow. By the time you’re filled, the market’s turned and the drag shows in returns, not invoices.
Liquidity scattered across dozens of venues
Liquidity’s scattered across exchanges, dark pools, and internalisers. You place a block—half fills fast, the rest chases higher. The window closes before you're positioned, or you pay up to complete what should’ve been one clean execution.
Brokers with proprietary desks and conflicting priorities
When your broker trades its own book or protects banking ties, you question fair treatment. Fills may internalise, quality drops when bigger clients take priority, or routes favour the broker’s gain over yours.
Support that feels automated and generic
You call with an urgent issue, but support reads from a script and doesn’t know your account. Problems that should take minutes stretch into days, leaving you managing operational risk that shouldn’t exist at all.

Trade Execution and Market Access for Institutional Mandates
We've built execution infrastructure around hedge fund and institutional needs. Multi-venue access, experienced traders, and technology that handles complexity without adding headcount on your end.
Trade every asset class through one desk
Equities across developed and emerging markets, fixed income from government to corporate bonds, listed derivatives including futures and options, plus OTC instruments. Orders route through a single platform with consolidated reporting across positions, so your equity longs, bond holdings, and derivatives strategies are all executed and reported through one execution relationship.
Execution without market leakage
Large orders execute through dark pools and block networks that keep your identity and strategy concealed. Sales traders canvas liquidity discreetly without broadcasting size or direction. Orders slice into randomised pieces across venues and time to avoid detection patterns, so your trading intent stays invisible and market impact limited until execution completes.
Smart routing that scans venues live
Orders route automatically across venues to seek favorable pricing and available liquidity at each moment. A single equity order might be split between the primary exchange, an MTF, and a dark pool to secure optimal fills without moving the market. Algorithms, including VWAP, TWAP, and implementation shortfall, minimise slippage on larger trades while the router constantly updates as conditions shift.
Research rooted in real-world experience
Market Intelligence delivers trade ideas, insights, and guidance shaped by decades of institutional experience. Our research blends fundamental analysis, technical signals, and data-driven screening to spot opportunities and risks before they become obvious. It’s practical, targeted and designed to inform your trading decisions when markets move.

Real-time portfolio and risk monitoring
Your client portal provides live P&L, exposure reports, and Greeks for options positions, with customisable views that integrate with your portfolio management systems. Trade confirmations and end-of-day statements generate automatically, and you can download data in formats that match your internal reconciliation processes.
Operational and regulatory guidance
Our team includes former buy-side managers and sell-side structuring heads. You get input on execution strategy, derivatives structuring, help structuring custom derivatives, and guidance on regulatory requirements like MiFID II/EMIR and short-disclosure rules - backed by people who've managed similar positions themselves.
Why Institutional Investors & Hedge Funds Choose FCS Capital Markets
Multi-venue access that protects intent
Large orders expose intent when handled carelessly. We shield your identity when sourcing liquidity, connect to exchanges and dark pools across venues, and work blocks without broadcasting strategy. Our traders leverage networks built over decades to access liquidity that isn't visible on screens, delivering better fills with lower slippage.
Support from people who’ve been on your side
You get direct lines to senior personnel with buy-side experience, not junior reps reading scripts. Questions about execution, settlement, or regulatory requirements get resolved by people who've managed funds and understand operational pressure, so problems close out in hours instead of days.
Platform built for multi-strategy flexibility
Smart order routing scans venues in real time, algorithmic execution minimises slippage on larger trades, and FIX connectivity integrates with your OMS without forcing platform changes. The infrastructure adapts to how you trade, whether that's high-frequency equity pairs or discretionary global macro across asset classes.
