eCommerce
BGC eCommerce specialises in the development of innovative electronic trading, post trade risk mitigation and compression solutions. ColleX adds collateral carry and generation of latent inventory value to the eCommerce portfolio of award winning systems spanning the pre-post trade value chain, from eTrading, OTC swaptions, caps, floors and FX options compression to reduction in margin and risk mitigation. ColleX leverages BGC experience and global brand distribution in deployment of electronic trading venues.
ColleX brings the strength of BGC eCommerce to new users across banks and other financial institutions. The ongoing implementation of Uncleared Margin Rules & mandatory Variation Margin from March 2017 requires us to consider liquidity of collateral being as systemically relevant as its credit value. By offering the potential mobility of collateral at T+0 we can deliver cost benefits and reverse fractured liquidity trends.
