Asset Managers
Meeting your target returns requires a creative approach. The asset management landscape continues to change, as derivatives are increasingly used for speculative purposes, rather than pure hedging. These instruments are traded alongside the more traditional products and also need to be supported within an organisation’s trading infrastructure. Calypso provides the market-leading derivatives solutions along with specifically developed functionality for asset managers.
The volumes of derivatives traded by asset managers are increasing.
The Calypso derivatives solutions have been recognised as true leaders in capital markets software solutions. The ability to capture, manage positions, view risk and P&L and process volumes of derivatives can be simplified with Calypso. Furthermore, the solutions incorporate functionality developed by some of the leading derivatives sell-side players. Calypso’s flexible system empowers you to adapt to changing business models and regulations without going through the pain of buying additional software systems.
Real-time risk can now be a reality.
Calypso provides real-time cross-asset risk functionality at both desk and enterprise level. A complete view of risk exposure, scenario analysis and the ability to drill-down into results enables rapid decision-taking. Calypso ERS (Enterprise Risk Service) is specifically designed for the risk user, and gives a real-time enterprise view of market risk and limits.
Breadth of product coverage increases your options to generate returns.
The Calypso software solutions have been designed to provide rich cross-asset functionality. Calypso delivers asset management functions on top of its integrated cross-asset front-to-back solution, giving you access to products which can assist in meeting your fund targets.
Efficient processing of derivatives can assist in cost reduction.
The Calypso workflow has set the standard for capital markets systems and remains the most effective way to automate your business. With Calypso, you have the ability to make STP for derivatives a reality. Processing can be automated for the entire trade lifecycle - from deal capture through to settlement and accounting - only exception handling requires manual intervention. Calypso is a robust platform which can scale up in line with demand, and can handle volumes of commoditised products.
Collateral management is a fundamental component of any derivatives infrastructure.
As part of Calypso’s rich coverage for derivatives, the collateral management module assists with performing all necessary calculations and creating margin call transactions. In alignment with Calypso’s back office, it is also possible to introduce automation into certain tasks. The Collateral Management module completes the purpose-built derivatives trading solution for asset managers.
