Position Limits

    Our service simplifies the process of monitoring position limits on derivative contracts which are imposed by exchanges across the globe as well as regulators (e.g. CFTC, ESMA via MiFID II). Our service informs our clients on where their positions are versus applicable limits and acts as an early warning system.

    Why FundApps

    Helping those trading in and/or monitoring derivatives get a good night's sleep

    Warning icon
    Avoid fines and reputational damage

    We gather position limit data from a number of sources, including the exchanges themselves, every single day. We have integrated with FIA Tech allowing us to support global exchanges, covering futures, swaps and options. By automatically checking your current positions against exchange and regulator-imposed limits (including MiFID II and CFTC) we help you avoid breaching thresholds.

    Calendar icon
    Automate the sourcing of accurate trading calendars
    We automatically source calendar data which allows us to calculate when spot month limits come into effect and alert you accordingly. This eliminates the need to gather this information directly from the exchange, and manually determine the correct dates and associated spot limits.

     

    Right-aligned blocks
    Net and aggregate between contracts correctly

    In order to accurately reflect current positions, we automatically convert and aggregate any contracts that are rolled up into a parent contract and have a relevant ratio. We correctly aggregate positions at the right contract level and corporate level.
