SunGard has enhanced post-trade solutions in response to recent US regulatory recommendations which will see firms penalised for mortgage and agency debt fails. Stream Fail Monitor will help financial services firms comply with the expansion of the Treasury Market Practice Group (TMPG) penalties, which are for now limited to US treasuries.
The solution receives all fails from a customer’s trading systems, helping the firm identify fail trends by security and monitor counterparty risk across multiple platforms. In addition, the solution applies the appropriate penalty interest rate to fails based on the TMPG’s rules. Stream Fail Monitor also identifies receivables and payables and prepares interest claims.
John Grimaldi, executive vice president of SunGard’s North American securities operations and securities finance business, said, “As the industry looks for ways to reduce systemic risk, financial services firms need a way to quickly identify and control key sources of risk, such as trade fails. Stream Fail Monitor easily identifies fails from multiple sources across all asset classes, helping firms monitor their exposure and be ready for new industry rules.”
