Options Platform
Derivatives trading, position keeping and lifecycle processing for brokers.
Overview
The Options Platform gives brokers what they need to offer derivatives: order handling, position keeping, the processing of exercise, assignment and expiry, and the computation of premium and margin.
Derivative positions are monitored together with the broker’s credit control, so exposure is visible in the same place as the rest of the client’s activity.
Offering derivatives adds events and calculations that equity systems do not handle: exercise, assignment, expiry, premium and margin, all tied to the firm’s credit control.
