UBS today announced a partnership with Hyannis Port Research’s (“HPR”) Riskbot® offering, making it available to the clients of UBS Quant HQ, a business area focused specifically on the unique requirements of the systematic, or quantitative, trader. UBS Quant HQ combines the firm’s human insight and expertise with cutting-edge technology to provide this specialized customer segment with tailored access to the wide range of UBS global Investment Services.

HPR created “Riskbot®” in response to latency issues plaguing the market. Riskbot® utilizes a Patent Pending “market-aware-firewall” and faster trading infrastructure that provides comprehensive risk management solutions for full portfolio as well as basic pre-trade risk controls, such as those required by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Market Access Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-5).
