“With ActivePivot I can look at my P&L in real-time and see what has happened and why."

Risk Manager, Investment Bank.

With an increase in online trading as well as algorithmic trading, it is critical for firms to monitor profit and loss performance in real-time.

With automated strategies trading frequencies are often high, meaning it is possible to accumulate either large profits or losses rapidly.

For firms who provide a platform for day traders to trade online, it is important to understand clients’ positions and to control potential risk exposure.

QuartetFS’ ActivePivot™ lets clients fully understand their profit and loss in real-time. As ActivePivot allows users to scroll-up or drill down across dimensions and levels, P&L can be monitored across separate desks or algorithmic scenarios. Users constantly view the latest positions from new trades, amendments and/or market data changes, as all are updated in a sub-second.

ActivePivot™ can also provide complex and diverse profit and loss calculation logics to adapt to each client requirement, in particular when it comes to nonlinear products. Attribution of the P&L across various contributing factors in real-time, as the markets move, is easily realized through ActivePivot.
