Overview

Aspect Enterprise Solutions is a leading provider of cloud commodity trading and risk management (CTRM) software. The company has entered into a partnership with Principia Consulting which has in-depth technical and functional expertise in the risk and trade management sector.

Benefits

Benefits of AspectCTRM’s Commodity Risk Management Module

Robust risk engine gives risk managers a good understanding of operational, settlement, credit, and market exposures.

Track the value of P&L, value-at-risk (VaR), cash position, and marked-to-market as deals are updated and entered, and monitor them simultaneously with market changes. This capability is still not available to many energy corporations that use spreadsheets or older technology.

AspectCTRM provides a daily risk reporting procedure for risk and middle office managers to analyze action from the prior trading day. The system utilizes a daily book close procedure to automatically calculate YTD, MTD, daily P&L changes, and more. Plus, it takes snapshots of positions by trader, location, book, strategy, etc. Daily review is facilitated by the publishing of standard reports.

Optimal Hedge Calculator is an advanced decision support feature that enables traders to calculate optimum hedging tactics.

You can access VaR for 100,000-deal portfolios quickly.

Effortlessly group and manage deals into a hierarchy of strategies and positions by counter party, location, commodity, specific or individual trade strategy.
