Systems for risk control

Risk control systems work in real-time to monitor and control your trading activity and protect your capital.

A well-designed system neutralises risk exposure without restricting your commercial activity by:

• protecting against market volatility
• neutralising predatory trading
• enforcing internal controls

We design and build innovative systems to protect investment banks and asset managers against unwanted trading activity through:

• liquidity management engines
• pre-deal and post-deal limit monitoring
• instantaneous credit checking
• real-time, consolidated exposure monitoring

Banks get proactive with real-time protection against excessive trading exposure without restricting their healthy trading practices or performance. Asset managers work within tight limits to accurately comply within their
customers' mandate.

Our risk control experience

We design and build innovative tools for market and credit controls.

• We re-engineered a market-making FX infrastructure and introduced a dynamic liquidity management engine to protect our client against predatory counterparties and market volatility.
• We accelerated client credit checks from seconds to milliseconds by developing a high speed credit-cache server. Our client could check spot and forward FX deals instantly while still maintaining their credit process integrity.
• We built a rule-based limit monitoring system as part of our client's front office infrastructure. By capturing any soft breach in trading, issues could be assessed and resolved after the event and future trading compliance assured.
