Compare Prime Brokerage Margin requirement, intra-day, on a trade-by-trade basis, set the Fund’s parameters (as to concentration, ADTV, relationship, wallet, etc), and optimise for financing and dividend costs.
We are confident we can help CIOs and Treasurers identify significant savings without compromising the things that are important to them and to manage on an almost real-time basis the margin /collateral flows in times of volatility.
The Module tracks a Fund’s unexplained, encumbered, and unencumbered cash on a real-time basis allowing funds to reinvest (and monitor) cash balances and excess margin returns.
Not only will this improve returns, but the dashboard reporting will significantly reduce valuable SME time spent on reconciliation and oversight.
The Module tracks the Fund’s investor subscription and redemptions to increase returns, optimise liquidity and ensure a complete audit trail of Fund Returns.
We provide daily analytics of individual Portfolio Manager returns by instrument and strategy, the interaction of PM positions, available cash and stress test the individual trade and the sub-portfolio.
With Siman Form PF reporting, you can calculate, replicate and verify your Funds Margin requirements near real-time, by PB, by ISDA, by exchange, and in the aggregate. You do not need to wait for the PB and exchange reports to roll in.
The data necessary for Form PF reporting is always to hand, meaning the proposed 10-day look back and 72-hour window to report a 20% move in your Margin positions is not a problem.
For example, the Module calculates the RFACV and the percentage Margin change on both a net and a gross basis so you can see if you are approaching a reporting threshold.
Not only that, but you have the functionality to optimise your margin and financing costs by ISIN, by strategy, and by portfolio, according to your own defined preferences and constraints.
