HPR – aka Hyannis Port Research – has reached the goal of a consolidated view of global trading risk across equities markets with CRM-X, the latest version of its Central Risk Manager (CRM), which supports a regional view of trading risk. CRM-X acts as a manager of managers and can be positioned anywhere to parent regional CRM devices and provide both regional and global views of risk across a trading organisation.

CRM-X provides management teams with a single view of risk across 90 equity markets globally, despite their disparate regulatory requirements, currencies and market structures, and will be extended to cover other asset classes, initially futures and options in the third or fourth quarter of this year.

Anthony Amicangioli, founder and CEO at HPR, says CRM-X hits the operational goal of providing brokers and trading organisations with a global, rather than regional, real-time risk management system. The solution can also provide benefits around capital management, allowing trading firms to move to a more global use of capital in a more contiguous manner, and also drill down to regional activity to apply capital across regions. Firms can also begin to look at global rather than regional portfolio analysis.
