About MarginCalculator
MarginCalculator is a web-based, interactive margin workflow platform for daily margining of covered agency transactions. We help you compute and validate margin requirements based on our decision analysis for exemptions and exceptions.
A Simple Solution to Compliance
All broker dealers must measure and manage exposure on forward settling transactions. The rules, exceptions and exemptions are complex. Factors involving securities, counterparties, valuation and thresholds require layers of decision analysis. Participants trading in Covered Agency markets need a robust way to compute, validate and record new margin calls, ensuring compliance with these new rules and regulations.
Compute | Control | Comply
We help you compute and validate margin requirements based on a decision analysis for exemptions and exceptions. You maintain control with interactive monitors displaying aggregated exposure by counterparty and we inform you when margin is and is not required. We record activity and allow you to send margin call emails directly from the screen. Our simplified and cost-effective margin workflow platform will help you comply with regulations.
