Advent Software Announces the Release of Moxy® Version 5.2


Latest Version of Advent's Trade Order Management System Offers Asset Managers Increased Scalability and Higher Trade Volume Execution

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14 -- Advent Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADVS), the leading provider of software and services to the investment management industry, today announced the release of Moxy® Version 5.2, the latest upgrade to Advent's trade order management system, with new advanced features based on enhancements to the Financial Information eXchange (FIX) protocol that enables electronic order routing and trade execution.

Moxy® Version 5.2 enables asset managers with active trading to execute a larger number of trades from more traders and allows for the handling of large block orders easily without sacrificing efficiency. Advanced algorithms that comprise FIX have been integrated into the design of Moxy® Version 5.2 in order to allow for the execution of high order volumes in a timely manner.

"Advent is proud to have over 700 clients using Moxy®. As their businesses grow, they need a system that can grow with them and provide reliable and efficient routing of increased trade volumes," said Creighton Reed, Director of Product Marketing for Advent's Trade Order Management and Compliance business. "To meet their needs, we have enhanced the functionality of the FIX algorithms within Moxy® Version 5.2 in order to enable asset managers to scale with their growing order activity quickly and accurately."

As an indication of client demand for Moxy®, 75 Advent clients have already upgraded or committed to upgrade to this latest Moxy® version.

Moxy® Version 5.2 marks another milestone in the evolution of Advent's trade order management system. In February 2006, Advent announced upgrades to Moxy®'s Profit and Loss functionality, enabling further flexibility to define multiple views and groupings of a fund's positions. Moxy® enables fast, precise trade creation and improved order execution. By streamlining the trade order management process, Moxy® helps traders scale their businesses, handle more accounts with fewer resources and improve connectivity with counterparties.
