Optimizing capital for the purposes of FX trading activities is not a new practice. However, traditionally, for large numbers of capital markets firms—especially tier-two and tier-three sell-side firms—that process is either largely ignored or managed by insufficient and proprietary applications.

This webinar explores the purpose-built technologies available to capital markets firms to help them systematize and add transparency to their capital optimization processes, benefiting the business, counterparties and end-investors, while also complying with regulatory mandates.

Key topics discussed:

  • Making the business case for deploying technology to manage functions under the FX optimization umbrella
  • How FX optimization by efficient novation and compression can reduce concentration and settlement risk
  • The impact of FX optimization practices on liquidity sourcing, trading efficiencies and costs.
