Capital Efficiency
for Derivatives.

Increase leverage and returns by reducing margin requirements.

TRUSTED BY THE WORLD’S LEADING Hedge Funds

Everyday, portfolio and treasury managers make decisions that impact the effectiveness of derivatives.

Under new regulation, derivatives consume more capital, constraining leverage and growth across strategies. Identifying the strategies that consume the most capital,

and reducing inefficiencies across asset classes, requires a data-driven approach to model all of the drivers of margin. OpenGamma allows Hedge Fund managers to increase returns through more efficient use of capital.

Challenge Calls.

Reduce encumbered assets by recalling collateral 
where margin was incorrectly called.

  • Challenge

    Margin models are complex and it is hard to work out if margin calls are correct – which can lead to overpayment, reducing available cash to generate returns.

  • Solution

    OpenGamma identifies inaccurate margin calls, allowing firms to challenge their brokers and counterparties, freeing up capital.

"OpenGamma’s solution gives us unique coverage for the products we trade, adding efficiency to our trading operations."

Track
Consumption.

Allocate capital to Portfolio Managers
and strategies based on their margin
consumption across asset classes.

  • Challenge

    Controlling capital consumption is critical to running a multi-manager hedge fund.

  • As the number of portfolio managers and strategies grows, with more strategies, it is increasingly challenging to track the margin consumption.

  • The complex nature of portfolio margin models makes it difficult for firms to identify the strategies, portfolio managers and positions that consume the most capital.

  • Solution

    OpenGamma allows Hedge Fund managers to measure capital consumption and identify the drivers of margin requirements as well as day-on-day change to incentivise capital-efficient behaviour for the fund.

Increase Returns.

Increase leverage by reducing margin requirement pre- and post-trade.

  • Challenge

    It is easy for Portfolio Managers to make trading decisions that result in inefficient use of capital.

  • Solution

    OpenGamma allows firms to improve capital efficiency with automated solutions to determine best execution pre-trade, and remove inefficiencies post-trade.
