AFEX to Use Derivitec's Risk Portal

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - January 18, 2016) -  AFEX, one of the world's largest non-bank providers of global payment and risk management solutions, has selected Derivitec's Risk Portal product for production of its risk reports.

Derivitec's Risk Portal allows clients to access industrial standard risk reporting software directly through the web, with zero installation overhead, on a pay-as-you-go basis. Whilst originally designed to handle analytics on derivative products, the platform has been significantly extended to cover everything from shocks to regulatory reports across a wide range of assets, globally. End of day market data, and portfolio management are provided as standard, leaving the client with nothing more to do than upload portfolios and calculate to obtain their end of day risk numbers.

AFEX's trade data is being fed into the Derivitec platform where it will be used to deliver reports on its currency trading positions, as well as to perform forward looking and sensitivity analyses. AFEX was impressed with the ease of use, and responsiveness of the platform, as well as the quick turnaround on new requests from the Derivitec team.

Mario Pisano, Head of Global Treasury at AFEX, comments: "Derivitec's platform stood out for us for the quality and breadth of its risk reporting capabilities. With its easy to use functionality, we are able to produce reports more efficiently and it ultimately enables us to manage our working capital needs more effectively."

George Kaye, CEO and founder of Derivitec, comments: "Working with AFEX has been a fantastic experience. We were able to extend the depth and reach of the platform rapidly, providing the additional functionality, portfolio management and coverage required by AFEX's highly challenging risk reporting requirements. We are excited to continue building on our mutually beneficial relationship going forward."
