Cinnober’s Minium signs Marex Spectron as its first client
Milestone achievement for Cinnober as it seeks to broaden its real-time clearing and risk management offering to banks and brokers
Cinnober’s wholly owned subsidiary Minium Financial Technology Ltd (“Minium”) today announces that it has been selected by Marex Spectron (“Marex”) to deliver a cloud-based real-time risk management platform to support Marex’s growth in exchange-traded derivatives and FX.
The solution will allow Marex, a leading global broker of financial instruments in the commodities sector, to enhance its monitoring of counterparty risk in real‐time across multiple asset classes. Marex will leverage Minium’s real‐time risk management solution to consolidate a number of legacy systems it currently uses into a single platform with additional key features, including initial margin and valuation replication over 24 global CCPs with the ability to perform simulations in a number of scenarios.
Commenting on the announcement, Veronica Augustsson, CEO of the Cinnober Group said: "We are committed to continuing to expand our group's operations through the growth of Minium and are extremely pleased that Marex has chosen to implement Minium’s risk solution as the pilot client. We see this deal as an important milestone which is a testament to our commitment to provide innovative technology solutions that eliminate outstanding inefficiencies. Innovative firms like Marex share our vision of the great potential that digitization holds in the risk management and in post-trade at banks and brokerages.”
Minium was established to offer real-time clearing and risk management solutions and services to international banks and brokers, building on Cinnober's existing technology and expertise. Minium's solutions seek to modernize and streamline client clearing services and provide improved risk management to the banking sector. This is an area that is continuously faced with new regulations, tougher capital requirements, and high spending resulting from the use of legacy IT infrastructures.
Marex’s risk management system will be delivered in phases, beginning in Q4 2018.
