    Trading and portfolio management to make better decisions

    Facing lower returns, the front office is severely pressed to cut costs, boost performance, comply with ever-increasing regulatory requirements, and deliver exceptional client service. Meanwhile, businesses must be able to add products quickly and support new product types like carbon trading in the burgeoning ESG arena, while managing flow products efficiently.

    Growing volumes and volatility spikes exacerbate challenges, highlighting the importance of agile infrastructures and integrated solutions so firms can implement changes swiftly.

    We provide sell-side and buy-side firms with an all-in-one sales and trading platform covering their specific needs via our Front Office and Portfolio Management Workstations.

    With our front-to-back integrated platform, you have instant access to all the pre-trade information you need to optimize resource allocation, i.e.: capital, collateral inventory, liquidity, all XVA flavors, and cleared and uncleared margins. And we deliver real-time risk and position data (IBOR) that bridges trading and portfolio management activities.
