Cymba Tweaks Athena IMS

Cymba technologies, the London-based provider of buy-side focused, multi-asset investment management technology, has unveiled version 3 (v3) of its flagship Athena Investment Management System (IMS).

Cymba will commence the Athena v3 roll out to new and existing clients from early June.

Features and enhancements of Cymba's Athena Investment Management System v3 include:
• Launch of the Cymba open analytics module, allowing users to incorporate their propriety pricing and risk analytics directly into the application's grids by using externally-compiled proprietary or third-party libraries.
• Enhanced charting and graphing is now available in each grid, allowing users to view data in real time and provide reports for internal and external delivery.
• Updated modelling screens supporting dynamic modelling, providing true "what-if" analysis.
• Enhancements to the trading workflow, allowing users to connect directly to pre-certified execution management system (EMS) providers or use the Athena v3 integrated trading module to interact directly with the market.
• Improved asset class coverage: Athena v3 now covers all main asset classes, including equities, CFDs and swaps, FX swaps, spot, NDFs and other forwards, index and currency futures, options, fixed income, and OTC derivatives.
• Continued enhancements to Cymba Compliance to reflect regulatory changes and features such as "look-through" to enhance index compliance as well as support for correlation matrices and associated rules.
• Application program interfaces for compliance, orders, executions, and data.

"The release of Cymba Athena v3 brings together a host of enhancements to provide both an out-of-the-box and modular multi-asset class portfolio modeling, compliance, and trading platform for hedge funds and institutional asset managers," says Rodolfo Picciau, Cymba Technologies' chief technology officer.
