Key
Features
1
Simple Trade Entry
Registrations on trade books are inputted quickly and easily, even for highly complex structures. With one click, the registration of the identical product traded between external and internal parties is completed at the same time.
Trade confirmations are generated automatically for various trades including hedge, speculation, back-to-back, etc. The Trade Blotter allows the user to organize various trades of multiple parties and take in the details at one glance.
5
Position P/L Analysis
The STP calculates all P/L by the daily mark-to-market revaluation standard. It is also able to classify and process realized and unrealized P/L, as well as various fees. For any revaluations, the mark-to-market method is applied on the most updated data at the time of the revaluation. Furthermore, P/L can be computed for user-defined periods on all positions, as required by different management hierarchies.
2
User-based Book Management
The STP’s user-defined book management hierarchy allows flexible, customized management. The user is able to organize the same product according to its own needs, based on the trade region, desk, and target, as well as on accounting, counterparty, and performance management. Furthermore, for any changes made in the company’s organizational structure, the hierarchy reset processes automatic updates for the P/L, risk, performance analysis, etc.
6
Position Risk Analysis
The position Greeks summation is computed taking into account all risk factors for portfolios based on the position management hierarchy. The STP runs analyses on VaR (Value At Risk) for cross-asset correlation risk. Furthermore, with just-in-time revaluation, updated risk analysis is possible at any time desired by the user.
3
Automatic Event Monitoring
The STP identifies whether booked products meet set conditions through the monitoring of market data, fixing data, holiday data, etc. Once a condition has been met, the system automatically and immediately alerts the user to process the events. This automatic event monitoring function of the STP greatly reduces the user’s working process, and minimizes overhead cost.
7
Position Cash Management
Cash movement and balance is managed for all external and internal trades, life cycle events, and settlements in the corresponding accounts. Statistical estimated cash flow of contracts and positions are also easily managed through mark-to-market revaluations. The Cash In/Out Schedule is managed through Event Monitoring.
4
Just-in-Time Position
A revaluation of a position is possible with the most updated market data at any point in time, and automatic, periodic revaluations can be set up by the user. For complex revaluations, the user is able to selectively compute specific fair values or risk factors, to achieve efficiency in work processes.
8
Position Simulations
The STP has price and risk simulation functions for different market and parameter scenarios. While the SPC runs simulations on individual trades, the STP runs simulations on positions composed of multiple contracts. Simulations of multiple market scenarios can be done simultaneously for efficiency in portfolio P/L and risk analysis.
Up-to-Date
Technology
The STP synthesizes modern financial and mathematical theories, software engineering and technical expertise to provide trade and position management solutions for the most diverse and complex financial assets.
