Case Study: How JonesTrading Future-Proofed Its Trading Technology With FlexOMS

For 50 years, JonesTrading has been a global leader in institutional trading and relationship brokerage.

Its unique offering of high touch client attention paired with advanced access to electronic capability means its technology platforms are strategically crucial to serving its institutional, hedge fund and investment banking clients.

When Jones identified the need to replace its order management system (OMS), they knew it was crucial to find a reliable, long-term partner that could deploy a modern solution quickly across all U.S. business lines.

JonesTrading partnered with FlexTrade to implement FlexOMS across all U.S. desks, unifying trading workflows and supporting multiple MPIDs and clearing brokers within a single OMS.

Two years after partnering with FlexTrade, Jones continues to rely on the long-term stability of a leading OMS platform: robust client interaction, no major outages, and seamless scalability with growing trading volumes.

For many years, the WIF Breakfast has been a cornerstone of STANY programming—providing a platform to elevate voices, foster dialogue, and strengthen professional networks. The transition to a luncheon format marks an exciting next chapter, designed to expand participation and enhance the overall conference experience.
