Cassini Systems, a provider of analytics solutions for OTC trading, and Softek, a leading provider of Capital and Credit Management solutions, today announced a partnership to enable buy-side clients to access Softek’s house margin policies to accurately assess their pre-trade risk, collateral and potential costs for CCP, Bilateral and Prime Broking arrangements.
Liam Huxley, founder of Cassini Systems, said; “Softek offer both PB margin calculation services and the necessary data management for accurate calculation of these models. By integrating these calculation services into Cassini we can offer the complete span of margin and asset models from OTC, through ETD to proprietary Hedge Fund portfolio margins. Cassini integrates these into our rich Pre and Post-Trade optimisation and analytic workflows for any type of buy side firm”.
Andrew Powell, COO, Softek, commented; “Softek has extensive knowledge and expertise in calculating a prime broker’s margin requirement having digitised a wide array of credit policies. Partnering with Cassini makes perfect sense. By linking our services, Cassini’s clients can assess the pre-trade margin cost across their prime broking relationships in addition to understanding the potential costs related to CCP and Bilateral arrangements.”
