TS Imagine, the cross-asset provider of trading, portfolio, and risk management solutions for financial institutions, is announcing that Y-Intercept has chosen RiskSmart +, an integrated solution for risk and portfolio management, to support the firm’s growth.
Y-Intercept, a Hong Kong-based quantitative investment firm specializing in systematic trading, started using RiskSmart + in January 2022 – the agreement is set to “extend the firm’s partnership for another three years.”
RiskSmart + is developed for businesses to scale their risk operations and increase efficiency.
The partnership will enable Y-Intercept to process “increasing volumes and service new markets through a single risk platform.”
RiskSmart + will enable Y-Intercept’s portfolio and risk managers to access real-time analytics and risk models and “automate key workflows across asset classes as the business scales.”
The solution will enable Y-Intercept to manage positions, cash and P&L while extracting “trade and adjustment activity for reconciliations with brokers.”
Simarjit (Sim) Johal, Head of Asia Pacific at TS Imagine, commented:
“With RiskSmart +, Y-Intercept will scale and streamline operations – automating complex workflows while enabling the firm to manage increasing transaction volumes.”
They added that the growth of our relationship with Y-Intercept demonstrates our ability to support clients at every stage of their evolution, using trading technology to navigate fast-paced risks in real-time – “allowing their businesses to scale safely as exposures grow in volume and complexity.”
Kevin Chang, Chief Operating Officer at Y-Intercept said:
“Our partnership with TS Imagine has been instrumental in optimizing our portfolio management workflows. With the ability to access robust security master, automate trade uploads, extract PMS data, and manage positions, cash, and P&L efficiently, RiskSmart + enables us to stay ahead in fast-moving markets and ever-changing regulatory compliance requirements. Ensuring our business can scale, minimize operational risk and safeguard our investors’ asset is vitally important, which is why we are excited to be deploying TS Imagine’s advanced technology.”
RiskSmart + empowers systematic trading desks by “providing REST API capabilities for real-time data integration, enabling clients to extract actionable insights and streamline workflows.”
The solution facilitates reconciliation of trading activity, “ensuring operational efficiency and accuracy for high-volume trading environments.”
As noted in the update, TS Imagine delivers an SaaS platform “for integrated electronic front-office trading, portfolio management, and financial risk management tools to the buy-side and sell-side.”
Formed following the merger of TradingScreen and Imagine Software in 2021, TS Imagine innovates by drawing on many years of experience serving the world’s financial services firms “through changing markets and a shifting regulatory landscape.”
The TS Imagine team is focused on developing technology that empowers its clients.
TS Imagine claims that it employs qualified technology talent, alongside former senior traders who claim to “understand first-hand their client’s pressure points and how to address them.”
This expertise enables TS Imagine to dive deep in areas such “as data science, automation, and development.”
As a result, clients can focus on “what they do best: generating and protecting alpha within fast-evolving markets.”
By offering a range of solutions, TS Imagine technology has become a tool for the “modern” investor, working across asset classes and geographies.
With transparency, efficiency, and scalability, TS Imagine clients are reportedly empowered to “circumvent distractions and avoid unnecessary tasks so they can maintain their focus on driving returns.”
As mentioned in the announcement, Y-Intercept is a Hong Kong investment management firm that seeks to deliver “risk-adjusted returns by developing and executing a set of quantitative and systematic investment strategies across financial markets.”
