Complimentary Webinar: Delivering integrated risk management to the trading desk

Business and regulatory pressure to integrate risk management into trading functions continues to grow. Many financial institutions are revising processes and procedures, and planning for implementation of integrated risk management at the trading desk - often anticipating changes in regulatory requirements.

The Webinar examined the key business challenges involved, and indicated some areas where technology could help. We also discussed SunGard’s established risk management solutions for high-volume DMA trading, plus recent developments that assist in risk integration across related instrument types and, more radically, across multiple trading platforms.
