Our Markets
Learn About Our Markets
Misys Treasury & Capital Markets provides solutions for a wide range of capital markets domains. Select one of our markets to learn more about how we are helping organizations address the challenges and trends in these markets.
Syndicated Lending
Over the past few years syndicated lending has changed due to the increasing growth in global syndicated loan volumes, rise of secondary loan trading as well as the development of new tools in the market such as collateralized loan obligations and swaps. Financial institutions require solutions that can support these ever-changing demands and provide them with competitive advantage to bring products to market. They seek a solution that can help them manage risk, improve operations and achieve growth under challenging market conditions.
Commercial Lending
Today’s commercial lenders require a solution that can quickly process and automate as many lending activities as possible. They seek a solution with automatic generation of notification and bills, APIS and interfaces for straight through processing, a simplified user interface and wizards for streamlined data entry.
Islamic Treasury
Twenty-five years ago Islamic Treasury was virtually unknown . Today the market size is estimated, by some commentators, to be growing at the rate of 15% per annum. Islamic banks currently operate in approximately
75 countries and the industry has a market estimated at over US$400 billion globally.
Structured Products
The credit crisis has not slowed interest in structured products trading. Investors are still hunting for improved yield or tailored risk-reward structures, which in turn puts pressure on dealers to supply increasingly sophisticated and complex products.
Buy-side solutions
Following a period of intense financial turmoil, asset managers and hedge funds now need to balance innovative strategies with cost cutting measures. They also need to adapt to more stringent risk requirements not just from regulation such as MiFID, but also from investors, who are understandably much more cautious and selective about how they invest their money.
OTC Derivative Trading
OTC Derivatives including credit, interest rate, equity, commodities and FX have been experiencing staggering growth over recent years. We have seen financial institutions that have not previously been involved in the OTC derivatives attracted by the greater returns and portfolio diversification. Deregulation in markets such as China and India have also fueled the growth in market participants. The credit crisis has dampened use of some of the more risky derivatives instruments but more importantly has highlighted the need for integrated solutions that handle the end to end process including valuation and risk management.
Risk & Compliance Management
For 20 years financial institutions have been using Misys risk solutions to manage risk across the trading and the banking book.
From credit, market & liquidity risk to ALM & regulatory compliance, Misys has a suite of risk solutions for a financial institution’s integrated risk framework.
Treasury Market
The Treasury Market is constantly evolving. Institutions need to truly understand where their profits are coming from as they deal with shrinking margins and increased competition via mergers and acquisitions as well as technical advancements.
Post Trade Processing
Much progress has been made over the last decade to automate foreign exchange confirmations between financial institutions and their commercial customers. Still, a significant portion of the market is manually confirming trades via fax and phone. Manual confirmations are slow and prone to human error, exposing companies who utilize such methods to significant risk. The period between trade date and confirmation can be days or even weeks for some instruments, creating unacceptable levels of risk in a wide variety of transactions.
Quick Start Solutions
Unprecedented change in the global financial services sector is creating a need for innovative solutions to new problems. The Misys Quick Start solutions have been introduced to meet the needs of this challenging market, enabling your organisation to realise its goals, increase competitiveness and improve margins by combining out-of-the-box solutions with proven methodologies and techniques.
Collateral Management & Margining
Recent market events and financial volatility have led regulators to call for greater transparency and risk mitigation. Collateral management had already risen to the top of the agenda following the crisis and now, with Dodd-Frank / EMIR and the introduction of CCPs, new margin management practices have been added to the requirements.
Business Intelligence
Misys Business Intelligence (MBI) helps financial institutions monitor their performance in the areas of financial analysis, profitability analysis, credit risk, operational risk, P&L and regulatory reporting.
Cross-asset solutions
Many sell-side capital markets firms today still operate with desk based best of breed solutions with many applications being used to cover the full plethora of products traded. Over recent years, and particularly since the financial crisis, there has been a movement towards cross-asset systems.
Central Counterparty Clearing
Market events and financial volatility have led regulators to call for more transparency, enhanced straight-through-processing (STP), better risk mitigation and improvements to capital and margin management. As a result, over the coming years the OTC derivatives market could face some of the most significant changes in its history.
