Position Limit Monitoring
Automate your monitoring across commodities, futures, and derivatives with built-in support for ESMA, CFTC, MiFID II, EMIR and more.
Navigating ever-changing rules and fragmented data
Position limits cover swaps, futures, options and multiple asset classes such as commodities, equities, fixed income and currencies. Compliance requires managing a large and changing set of rules, including exchange limits, contract details and regulatory thresholds from regimes like MiFID II, EMIR and the CFTC. These requirements are frequently updated by regulators and exchanges, with recent changes including the CFTC Final Rule, the MiFID II Quick Fix and ESMA’s focus on carbon derivatives.
That's where we come in. We remove this complexity by by continuously monitoring regulatory updates and automating the application of position limit rules across jurisdictions. Whether you are managing ESMA position limits, CFTC monitoring, MiFID II reporting or pre-trade and directional limits, our platform helps your firm stay compliant with confidence and ease.
How FundApps Position Limits works
The Position Limits solution monitors derivatives limits imposed by exchanges and regulators across the globe. Position data is simply and securely uploaded into our SaaS platform. Aggregation is applied at group or lower level, clients get real-time insight into positions versus applicable limits, and early warnings when caution should be exercised. Any changes by exchanges and regulators are automatically captured and our teams of in-house regulatory experts code it into rules.
