Position Limits Monitoring

Invaluable to clients operating in the financial market, the FundApps’ position limit monitoring service simplifies the processes involved in ensuring regulatory compliance is maintained in the purchase and trading of financial derivatives. With limits imposed by exchanges and regulatory authorities such as the CFTC and MiFID II across the globe on an intraday basis, adhering to market rules and avoiding limit violations can prove challenging. With our intuitive position limit monitoring system, however, clients gain access to an early warning system capable of informing them where their positions are versus applicable limits.

Elements considered include position limits, accountability levels and reporting levels across spot, single, other and all month timeframes.

As part of our position limit monitoring service, we continually gather data from a number of sources including the FIA Tech’s Databank, trading calendar data, direct exchange data and more to ensure our system remains up-to-date and accurate at all times.

Automated Calculations

Powered by an industry-leading rules engine, our position limit monitoring software is fed by a team of legal experts and developers who work together to interpret complex limit definitions and translate them into automated calculation methodologies. Additional factors including aggregation, calendars, and netting are all considered to ensure the seamless and accurate delivery of client’s exchange traded derivatives positions.

Custom Warnings

Designed to meet the specific requirements of our clients, our position limit monitoring system allows you to create bespoke alerts so that you receive adequate warning when your positions are approaching limits, giving you sufficient reaction time to eliminate the threat of limit violations.

We recognise that without irrefutable, up-to-date information, management of derivatives strategies is impossible. As such, we ensure that all data fed into our automated position limit monitoring system is sourced directly from exchanges or the FIA Tech’s Databank, which is then combined with all relevant required data, including contract limits, calculation instructions, calendar data and more. This gives clients the confidence they need to manage risk effectively.

Avoid fines and reputational damage

The risk of breaching thresholds poses a considerable threat to those involved in the trading and monitoring of derivatives.
