ULTUMUS Integrates ETF Data with FlexTrade’s FlexOMS

ULTUMUS and FlexTrade Systems have announced a new integration designed to streamline ETF data access for clients of FlexTrade’s sell-side order management system, FlexOMS. The collaboration connects ULTUMUS’ multi-asset ETF and index data with FlexOMS through an open-architecture interface, supporting efficient ETF workflows including creation, redemption, and basket trading.

ULTUMUS, a provider of ETF data covering active and passive funds across asset classes, said the integration enables its Start of Day, full, and delta files to be automatically incorporated into FlexOMS. These files contain real-time composition data, creation and redemption baskets, and updates throughout the trading day, minimizing manual effort and reducing operational complexity.

“Initiative to extend the reach of our ETF ecosystem to FlexTrade’s sell-side clients”

Bernie Thurston, CEO of ULTUMUS, commented, “We are proud to partner with FlexTrade on this new initiative to extend the reach of our ETF ecosystem to FlexTrade’s sell-side clients. Ultumus’ ETF data is a powerful and compelling proposition and the work we have undertaken means FlexOMS users can now leverage a broad and in-depth range of crucial information to support their ETF discussions.”

The integration addresses a key challenge for institutions handling ETFs: the operational demands of multi-asset trading where underlying data must be dynamically updated and accessible during trading hours. Without automated data feeds, ETF creation and redemption workflows often involve manual processing and data normalization from multiple sources.

Rajiv Kedia, Principal and Associate Founder at FlexTrade Systems, said, “We’re excited to make this new integration available to our sell-side clients using FlexOMS. The open-architecture, API-first approach that is in the DNA of all our sell-side solutions enables clients to seamlessly integrate sophisticated data sets, such as the Ultumus offering, into their various multi-asset workflows. The outcome is that they are better equipped to respond to clients with the most timely and accurate data available.”

FlexTrade and ULTUMUS said the integration allows sell-side clients to efficiently manage ETF liquidity and client servicing, particularly during high-volume trading sessions. The connection also supports increased automation for basket trades and simplifies intra-day adjustments in ETF composition.

FlexTrade’s FlexOMS is used globally by sell-side firms managing complex, multi-asset order workflows. The system’s open API design allows clients to integrate third-party services directly into their execution infrastructure. ULTUMUS’ addition expands FlexOMS’ data coverage for ETFs and complements existing functionality across equity, fixed income, and derivatives.

Both firms indicated that mutual clients have already begun onboarding the new ETF feed, with additional capabilities expected to roll out in future updates.
