On September 25, 2025, FactSet announced the general availability of IntelligentCross’ JumpStart functionality within its Portware execution management system (EMS). FactSet is the first among its competitors to offer a direct integration from the buy-side for this technology.
This integration, a collaboration with IntelligentCross and Jefferies, provides Portware users with direct access to Jefferies’ low-touch (algorithmic) liquidity. IntelligentCross ATS leverages artificial intelligence to enhance order matching and improve price stability in US equities, minimizing market impact and adverse selection.
The JumpStart technology allows buy-side traders to directly choose and interact with desired liquidity with minimal information leakage. This offers institutional traders a powerful new tool to trade smarter and with more confidence, solidifying FactSet's position in advanced equity trading solutions.
