How to compare and select the appropriate Risk Management Solutions for your business
Trading is becoming more risky. Talk to traders and they will tell you the fundamental price relationships are no longer reliable. Even spreads between between asset classes which used to be reliable are now showing new and unpredictable behaviours. Never before has trading risk management software been more important and yet the process of selecting trading risk management software can seem bewildering. Superficially risk management software vendors will tick all the boxes but the experience of many traders is – be careful! Not all risk management software vendors were born equal. Not all risk management software will meet your needs.

Commodities trading has become popular in recent times. This once obsure sector of trading now attracts financial trading banks and hedge funds whereas once upon a time only those with deep knowledge of physical commodities markets would dare to enter.
Risk Management challenges in the Insurance vertical
The insurance business is going through a radical period of change. With mergers and acquisitions creating super entities both in the insurance and re-insurance sectors. Coupled together with the concept of securitisation of insurance risk, few other industries are facing the same scale of IT related issues. In many traditional insurance circles the notion of insurance risk management software means little more than using a spreadsheet to keep a current list of active contracts. It is still a common site around Lloyds of London to see brokers walking around with large bundles of paper work under their arm.
