Economic uncertainty and volatility in the fiat currency markets have renewed the focus of the financial markets on the benefits of gold and other precious metals as an investment area. New markets are opening up around the world leading to new opportunities ― savings accounts valued in gold ounces and ETF’s backed by physical metals. Even withdrawing physical gold at the ATM has become a reality.

Whether trading in non-deliverable “paper” metals in the OTC Market, futures and options on exchanges around the world, or managing physical bullion and bars, Calypso’s Precious Metals module can help you to:
Products such as spot, forward and exotic OTC options are valued using Calypso’s native pricing models and maintained on the same integrated platform as precious metal interest rate products, leases, deposits, listed futures and options. This assures that consistent analytics and trade processing is maintain throughout the product lifecycle.
Risk management takes place in real-time in the centrally located Calypso Workstation ― a configurable risk dashboard for traders, sales people and risk managers alike. The Calypso system is designed to support high volume trading in both vanilla and exotic instruments. With configurable speed entry, customizable reporting and quick modeling of complex trades with full risk and scenario analysis, Calypso can scale up as demand increases on a local, regional or global trading level.
