Prime Brokers

Are systems preventing you from pursuing new business opportunities and serving clients?

Welcome to “the new normal”.  The large staff typically needed to build and support sophisticated models and systems are greatly diminished, or gone altogether. Processes must support simpler deals with ever-higher trade volumes ― on an ever shrinking staff headcount. Past years’ innovation has been tempered with calls for more transparency, better risk management, and simpler deals – which can be difficult to do when data is distributed across thousands of spreadsheets and fragmented systems. Finally, a wave of new regulatory requirements, new industry standards and client demands for increased transparency create a backlog of system enhancements and upgrades to remain competitive. 

You’re not alone.

Calypso helps prime brokers looking for ways to support their clients more effectively today, and position themselves well for additional volume and complexity tomorrow. Rather than building systems themselves, increasingly more institutions are looking for an open and integrated platform, supported by services that adapt to market conditions without hiring a huge staff. To increase efficiencies, prime brokers need to consolidate systems from multiple vendors, and combine individual work streams into a single, shared, and highly automated STP workflow, with a single view of the trade front-to-back, across assets. Calypso can help to shorten time to market for new products, reduce reconciliations between systems, and increase your firm’s agility. Calypso is the industry’s leading open platform that provides a solid, modern foundation for future business growth.
