Prime Brokers are often weighed down by inherited banking systems that are complex, rigid and siloed, making it difficult to gain transparency and serve clients efficiently. Imagine’s single, scalable platform seamlessly provides real-time analytics for PnL, NLV, risk, sensitivities and margin, while capturing potential limits breaches. Offering greater transparency, control and insight, clients can access analytics inputs, data, models and transparency tools to replicate any risk number. The solution provides cross-asset margining capabilities using its VAR engine, as well as comprehensive stress testing, flexible alerts monitoring and more.
Offered as an enterprise solution or a fully-hosted SaaS, the open architecture allows access to data using APIs, to develop micro services that respond quickly as market conditions and client needs change. In addition, a web portal gives mobile access to teams working remotely, and a secure, customizable client portal means prime brokers can share data, analytics and reporting with their clients.
