Paris, London, NYC - October 3rd, 2008 - Ullink, global provider of end-to-end connectivity and trading applications wins the 2008 Financial News’ award for Best New Vendor Solution. The award given by a panel of industry experts during the 2008 Financial News Awards for Excellence in I.T., singled out Ullink’s UL SMART as being the best New Vendor Solution. UL SMART is a MiFID- and Reg NMS-compliant best execution solution. As a single-process module embedded in the UL BRIDGE, connectivity and order routing platform, UL SMART makes decisions using real-time data from multiple sources and routes orders according to user-defined best execution policies. The Best Execution Policy Designer enables users to create flexible custom policies that combine an extended set of criteria with different routing strategies, in order to perfectly meet the customers’ needs and expectations. Eight major European Financial Institutions went live with UL SMART on November 1st, 2007, enabling them to be MiFID compliant on the due date. This version was enhanced with additional features throughout the year including algorithms to leverage hidden liquidity in light pools and regulated markets, and dark pools dedicated algorithms. The 2.0 version will be launched at the end of 2008. It will be based on a brand new architecture and will offer even more advanced order routing and an enhanced look and feel. "We are pleased and honoured to receive this award", says Laurent Useldinger, CEO of Ullink.
