The head of the new offering will be based from Singapore and has held senior roles at a number of UK-listed banks.

A trading and execution management system, TradingScreen, said today it has launched QUO, a cloud-based investment platform. Former senior HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered executive Will Lawton heads the new entity.

The new “software-as-a-service platform will allow investment managers to handle their workflow more efficiently and simply, the organisation said.

“Until now, there have been limited options for firms who need a lighter touch OEMS that is easy to deploy and will simplify investment management processes, from start of day file upload to order execution,” it continued. 

Lawton, based in Singapore, will concentrate on strengthening and extending TS's QUO offering globally.
