London-based solutions provider MJ Hudson, and risk management and post-trade software specialist SLIB have partnered to provide improved governance and transparency on risk exposures within the brokerage market.
MJ Hudson’s RiskMonitor Monte Carlo value at risk (VaR) calculations will be integrated within SLIB’s risk management solution (RMS) via application programming interface (API) software.
The integration aims to strengthen counterparty risk exposure monitoring, across asset classes and trading venues.
SLIB is jointly owned by global bank BNP Paribas and corporate investment company Natixis.
Max Hilton, head of quantitative solutions at MJ Hudson, says: “Within our business we see an increasing drive towards multi-asset portfolios, with VaR representing the critical market risk calculation. SLIB is already proving to be an excellent partner to our business, and I am excited at the prospect of what we can achieve together.”
Philippe Cognet, CEO of SLIB, comments: “This is definitely a decisive step forward in our credit risk strategy of bringing together an industry-leading risk engine, with our RMS platform, which is amongst the leaders in the European clearing industry.
“With best-in-class risk algorithms and API technology, MJ Hudson represents an ideal partner to bring this innovative and much needed solution to market.”
