Automated position limits monitoring

Position limits are imposed across swaps, futures and options and asset classes including fixed income, commodities, currencies and equities. Compliance requires a large, hard-to-source, diverse dataset with contract limits, calendar data and calculation methodologies constantly being changed by both regulators and exchanges.

Recent reviews include the CFTC’s Final Rule, The Mifid II Quick Fix, the LME’s review of accountability, ESMA’s push for carbon derivatives limits and the SFC’s review.

The Position Limits solution monitors derivatives limits imposed by exchanges and regulators across the globe. The diagram explains that.
