Integration of trading functions
Integration of trading functions with retail and origination verticals on a European basis
Problem solved
Automation of the representation of retail and origination activities in the client's ETRM system. Automated aggregation, position transfer and ongoing reconciliation of deals in the client's book/portfolio structure. Support for segregation of different types of risk in conformance to each book's trading mandate. Significant simplification of position management and hedging processes.
Our competitive advantage
Our domain expertise allowed us to interact directly with the business stakeholders to design an architecture able to proactively support risk management activities related to sales and origination flows from multiple European markets and map them to the client's complex book structure efficiently and automatically.
