TS Imagine, the global, cross-asset provider of real-time trading, portfolio, and risk management solutions for financial institutions, and Cassini Systems, the provider of pre-and post-trade margin and collateral analytics for derivatives market participants, announce a strategic partnership that “will see enhanced, intelligent margin and collateral analytics available through TS Imagine’s product suite.”
The partnership means that users of TS Imagine’s technology “will benefit from access to Cassini’s intelligent analytics across over the counter (OTC) and exchange traded derivatives (ETD) products, complementing the firm’s existing suite of proprietary cross-asset analytics.”
Cassini’s offering will aim to “give investment and risk teams front-to-back margin and cost analysis across the entire lifecycle of a trade.”
Cassini’s platform reportedly “provides the only full front-to-back solution covering margin, collateral and cost analytics for all classes of cleared and uncleared OTC derivatives as well as futures and options.”
The partnership allows integration of these core competencies “within TS Imagine’s product suite, enabling users to bring post-trade analytics into the pre-trade process.”
With this integration, TS Imagine users will now “be able to calculate margin requirements and optimize collateral usage in derivatives markets, as well as analyze drivers and movement in margin exposure, reduce initial margin levels and maximize margin efficiency.”
Andrew Morgan, president and chief revenue officer at TS Imagine, said:
“Today’s announcement combines decades of experience in our respective fields to deliver our clients a comprehensive and in-depth suite of analytics. Working closely with Cassini, we can help investment and risk management teams streamline workflows, cut complexity and control their total cost of ownership.”
Liam Huxley, CEO and founder of Cassini Systems, said:
“This partnership is an important milestone for both firms, opening our powerful customized calculations and analytics to new audiences in combination with TS Imagine’s technology to empower users across the hedge fund and prime brokerage space.”
The partnership with Cassini follows the announcement earlier in September “that TS Imagine is partnering with regulatory compliance solutions provider, eflow, to bring trade surveillance capabilities into its existing suite of execution, order, and portfolio management solutions.”
In August, TS Imagine also announced “that it is working with brokerage and investment group, CLSA, adding the firm’s AI-powered European algo suite to its list of certified brokers.”
