If your are large asset management company focused mostly on interest rate products and you are large institutional trader your way is the use of Charles River Portfolio Management & Risk Analytics account which is most reputable custodian institution which offers superior tool for bonds trading - Charles River IMS. Charles River Portfolio Management & Risk Analytics is focused on large bond traders, so is not offered for small hedge funds. It is not appropriate if you are small account holder and focused more on stock market offerings, margin trading and less focused on custodian reputation. There is no separate risk module for trading group risk management.
  • Systematic: Charles River Portfolio Management & Risk Analytics is respectable custodian
  • Trading: we want to focus more on bonds
  • Trading: 1-10% of portfolion for exotic instruments like CDS, metal SWAPS
  • Third party coonectivity to book keeping
  • Available for API integrations
  • Cloud Based
  • Neutral. We are in system migration process.
  • We expect to get our P&L less volatile (+/- 5%). More international bonds in a mix
  • Top custodian is our first priority
Charles River Portfolio Management & Risk Analytics is a state of the art company which owns state of the art products Charles River Portfolio Management & Risk Analytics.
