Exchange & Trading Solutions

Exchange Building

Creating liquidity and market dominance in a world where execution and clearing have become commoditized is a challenge. How do we brand an exchange? How do we deliver real and unique value to the financial and trading communities? How do we compete on value, not on price?  We do it by:

• Creating auction systems that bring value to traders
• Solving liquidity problems for new products and exchanges
• Harnessing the power of the financial community to bring innovation to exchanges and brokerage firms
• Branding, sales and marketing for exchanges and brokerage firms

Trader Training

Traders need all the support available to consistently beat the markets. With the combination of its battlefield tested training programs and its experience on both securities options floors and futures exchanges, Friesen Consulting can rapidly create a program targeted to specific needs in either a location based or electronic online training program.

New customer acquisition is expensive. Education and training create smart customers who are loyal.
— They trade more often, more intelligently and more profitably. No Question. —
Friesen Consulting can pinpoint the educational needs of customers and design a learning process that will deliver results for brokerage firms, independent service providers and exchanges.

Core Development

Friesen Consulting works with companies to identify and strengthen core values and create processes within the organization to support its core mission. Using its proprietary templates, Friesen Consulting guides a company in efficiently articulating its mission and enhancing its support.

• Core Vision articulates values, purpose, goals and a concise company description.
• Core Marketing includes identifying market segmentation, positioning and pricing.
• Core Execution maps core goals to resources and strategy.
• Core Organization prepares the company to manage the changing corporate lifecycles through each stage of success.
• Core Charter is the published and public document that is the commitment to your customers, partners and team members that describes what they can expect from the company.

Risk Mapping

• Managing risk inside the company's core competence produces high margin business. Known or unknown risks that are outside of the core competence lowers margins and success rates.
• Analyzing obvious and hidden risks inherent in a company's current business practices produces a risk profile that can be mapped against the company's core competence and mission. Synchronizing these profiles can improve profitability and success rate. Friesen Consulting draws on its years of experience in sophisticated risk management of derivatives, commodities and securities industries, and applies these formulas to business practice.

FlexStructure™

• Organizations like stability. Competition requires change. Using the proprietary concept of FlexStructure™, the functions of an organization can be defined under a structured or flexible environment. By nurturing both these environments in terms of place and time, the company can maintain a peak operating attitude.
