swissQuant Group (SQG), a leading technology firm serving FMI’s and banks globally, is pleased to announce that EuroCCP has gone live with the Equity Index Futures and Options Risk Modules on CleaRisQ, the firm’s state-of-the-art real-time Risk Engine. This follows EuroCCP’s adoption of CleaRisQ for cash equities in Q2, 2021.
Greg Campbell, Head of Derivatives Technologies at SQG, said: “We are delighted that EuroCCP chose to partner with SQG to deploy a real-time risk system. CleaRisQ provides EuroCCP with superior capabilities for calculating risk on their current suite of cleared products. Should EuroCCP require it, there is upside capacity to process over 100 million transactions per day. Operating as a highly regulated and critical market infrastructure provider it was vital for EuroCCP that CleaRisQ is able to support a best practice risk methodology (Filtered Historical Simulation Value at Risk), coupled with stress testing, backtesting and sensitivity analysis capabilities – all in one system. Clearing members also benefit from read-only real time analytics including ‘what-if’ trade simulations.”
Jonathan Tran, Chief Risk Officer at EuroCCP, commented: “We are excited to have extended our partnership with SQG. They have a strong reputation for their risk technology expertise and their CleaRisQ system enables us to execute on our European cash equity and equity derivatives growth strategy”.
Ed Hughes, Chief Technology Officer at EuroCCP, commented: “The replacement and integration of a risk system is a significant undertaking and launching with CleaRisQ is a major milestone for EuroCCP. SwissQuant have been a strong partner on this initiative, through the initial launch for cash equities and subsequent extension to derivatives.”
