Horizon Software won the Multi-Asset Trading System of the Year award in the recent FOW International awards. Here, Sylvain Thieullent, the chief executive of the fintech firm, reflects on a challenging year for the industry and looks ahead to a busy 2021.

Thieullent said 2020 was year that ultimately changed people's mindsets because a crisis will often lead people to focus on their core values. He said firms have realised that their key asset is their people.

To that end, Horizon invested heavily in training its staff in 2020 which has enabled the firm to demonstrate further its resilience to stakeholders.

The firm also invested in its core platform to reflect the fact that customers are all looking for "an edge". Horizon has invested to develop a "truly open trading system which is bullet-proof from a cyber-security perspective, supercharged for algorithms and available 24/7."
