Middle Office & Trading Risk

Solutions / Capital Markets Solutions

Integrated risk analytics and compliance management platform to make faster and better trading decisions

Firms are trading ever larger derivatives volumes as they address new market demands and incorporate financial innovations. The total cost of trading is also increasing driven by larger trading volumes and, in addition to existing XVA spread and margin requirements, new complex regulations such as Basel III’s FRTB and SA-CCR. In this challenging environment, it is a strategic imperative that firms can estimate –during the pre-trade phase –the impact of a trade on their market, counterparty credit, or liquidity risk profiles. Having this intelligence prior to executing a trade is key to running a profitable and compliant trading business.

"It was an informative and compact training program. Ram covered all the areas of the course brilliantly. Also had the opportunity to discuss queries on the go, those were answered promptly.

All the topics were just great, I found it all right. I am sure the practice sessions in training would help the team put them to use in future projects"

Akhilesh S.

“Despite having spent quite a few years as a Calypso developer, I still got a lot out of this training. It was enlightening and helped us delve deeper into some exciting details about Calypso. I would like to emphasize the excellent didactics with practical and objective exercises. Undoubtedly, I improved my analytical perception of operations and lifecycles. The Getting Started with Calypso module definitely provides a satisfactory roadmap.”

Samuel L.

“What an amazing week it was! The course covered an introduction to Calypso architecture, and dived into details of static data setup, workflow, and trade lifecycles, including pricing environments. I would like to express my thanks to everybody from Adenza for this opportunity and teaching me a lot of important things for my work routine.” 

Marcelo Y.

“The training was enriching and a very well designed program. There was a new theme each day, with a series of exercise adapted to each theme. The trainers Nima and Dominic were professional and attentive. They gave ample amount of time to each participant. They provided a simple explanation, illustrated with examples in calypso. The quiz at the end of each day, was helpful to test our skills ‘’
