Capital Markets Software

Put risk control at the centre of the firm to get a competitive edge, not just a cost burden. The global credit crunch has moved beyond the initial crisis, but left behind it a raft of challenges for capital markets firms. Losses from securitised and structured products continue to put pressure on liquidity. Where "alpha" was once everything, customer focus has shifted towards transparency and safety.

Investment banks, asset managers and hedge funds must radically change operating principles. Robust enterprise risk management, regulatory compliance and algorithmic trading are just some areas where change is essential.

SAS provides solutions for buy and sell side firms, including hedge funds, brokers, and asset managers, as well as proprietary trading desks.

• What if you could multiply the payoff from your non-optional investment in improved risk controls?
• Use them to differentiate your firm to potential clients?
• And what if this also enables you to establish a better understanding of your most profitable client relationships?

SAS alone had the breadth of tools and consolidation of technologies that would truly allow us to scale.
