“In an ever more volatile environment, the ability to calculate risk in real-time serves as a great competitive advantage, unlocking overnight liquidity, improving capital efficiency, and reducing the financial burden of legacy risk systems. By offering a fully managed service our clients can focus on business expansion and risk management, rather than operating risk infrastructure.”
Sucden Financial and Nasdaq have expanded their risk technology partnership by leveraging the Nasdaq Risk Platform for real-time risk monitoring and decision-making support.
The Nasdaq Risk Platform, used across Sucden Financial’s trading portfolios, offers live risk views, analytics, and derivative pricing. The move will enhance Sucden Financial’s global market and liquidity risk management capabilities.
The expanded agreement includes additional safeguards and expanded coverage in Europe, North America, and Asia. This extension aims to meet the increasing needs of Sucden Financial’s clients.
