Imagine Wins Asia Risk Award for Best Buy-Side Market Risk Management Product
The Asia Risk awards are the longest-running and most prestigious awards for firms and individuals involved in Asia’s derivatives markets and in risk management. The award was announced at the Asia Risk award dinner in Singapore.
According to the Asia Risk judges: “Imagine has successfully provided systems and managed services for derivatives trading and life-cycle management, and buy-side, prime services, custodian, and securities services firms for more than 20 years.” The judges praised Imagine’s technology, data and analytics advancements – resulting, most notably, in the launch of the Real-Time Risk & Compliance Solution (RRC) for Société Générale Prime Services, which required a high-performance system with flexibility and scalability for its buy-side clients.
