Eurex Launches Real-Time Risk Service
Eurex Clearing has launched its new Enhanced Risk Solution, a real-time risk data distribution service for risk management and margining data to its trading and clearing members.
The Enhanced Risk Solution is available across all asset classes and products such as derivatives, cash equities, bonds and repo transactions for exchange and trading venues that Eurex Clearing offers clearing services.
The free service will enable members to optimize intra-day risk monitoring, risk controlling and treasury management towards Eurex Clearing. It delivers risk-relevant margin parameters, position information, overall margin requirements, detailed margin coin components, cash flows, value of provided collateral and the respective margin shortfall or surplus information.
Thomas Book, who oversees clearing and is a member of the Executive Board at Eurex, said, “Our Enhanced Risk Solution significantly contributes to the regulators' and supervisors' goal of improving market safety and integrity by increasing transparency.”
He added, “Our customers will directly benefit from increased control over their own risk management and greater efficiency in their collateral management. By offering such a service Eurex Clearing actively contributes to policy makers' goal of a safe and sound financial market structure.”
