Options Watch

Options Watch is made of two distinct complementary functionalities:

1 - Option Exercise/Abandonment automated workflow process that reduces the number and the cost of errors:

  • Uploading of positions and static data from Stream
  • Collecting customers’ requests using standard interfaces and channels
  • Systematically performing several sanity checks
  • Authorizing the exercise instructions to be sent to the exchange
  • Managing requests’ exceptions
  • Monitoring market notifications
  • Reporting back to internal teams and customers
  • Feeding the back-office system
  • Providing online direct access for final customers through GL Instant Web

2 - Fully automated offsetting (closeout) process allowing firms to save daily man hours and to better assess the risk of being assigned:

  • Reconciling the open positions between the back-office and the exchanges
  • Automatically sending the close-out instructions to the exchanges
