London, January 4th, 2009 - SunGard has deployed new ultra-low latency market data distribution (MDD) servers for GL Net, its market data and order routing network.

London, October 13th, 2009 – SunGard has enhanced GL RIMS, its securities post execution processing solution for the middle- and back-office, to include securities processing capabilities specific to the Moroccan securities industry.

The GL RIMS solution provides comprehensive post-execution processing, including matching with the daily market positions updates received from the Casablanca stock exchange in real-time, to generating regulatory reports, including local bills such as Circulaire 03/97 and Circulaire 04/97. It will also cover processing allocations, enriching trades with charges and managing settlement of market execution through the Maroclear interface, the local clearing house. In addition, counterparty position information can be pushed to the front-office for pre-execution risk management.

GL RIMS supports existing and upcoming specific files in the current Maroclear interface, including AOE, ARE, AOR, RMQ, RCQ, AOC and REQ files. It has also been enhanced to include market trades settlement recording capabilities to support the new Maroclear interface.

The system can generate confirmations and reports in French, Arabic and English and user screens are also available in the user’s chosen language. The functionality is fully integrated with the global middle- and back-office capabilities of GL RIMS. This means that Moroccan brokers who are expanding in overseas markets will be able to benefit from GL RIMS’s multi-company, multi-market, multi-currency and multi-language capabilities.

Vincent Burzynski, chief product officer for SunGard’s global trading business unit, commented: “SunGard has always been committed to adapting its solutions to meet the evolving needs of brokers according to their local environment. Our knowledge of the Moroccan securities industry – we have been providing connectivity to the Casablanca stock exchange since 1996 – means that we are well placed to understand the competitive challenges for Moroccan brokers. The enhancement of GL RIMS means that we can now support Moroccan brokers processing trades through the new Maroclear interface, as well as attract new clients from outside the region.”

London, 24th September 2009 – SunGard has extended its GL Stream suite of front-office trading solutions with two new pre-trade risk management offerings: GL Stream Delta Selector and GL Stream Global Execution Server. The Delta Selector helps enable enhanced risk management for customers trading both futures and options by treating options as ‘quasi-futures’, which allows their risk and margining to be managed together with that of a future. The Global Execution Server allows all orders and executions on a particular exchange to be supervised from a single, central point, helping brokers to control their overall risk in real-time and to control market exposure. These solutions help to meet the brokerage industry’s need for improved trading and market risk management in the wake of the credit crisis.

SunGard’s GL Stream Delta Selector offers a new method of handling risk and margin for derivatives instruments across futures and options. Margin engines traditionally only allow calculations on one instrument type, and on filled orders only. The Delta Selector integrates open as well as filled orders, and uses deltas and initial margin information provided by exchanges to convert option & future orders into ‘quasi-futures’ via their deltas. Futures and options can therefore be aggregated together at the maturity-month level.

A broker’s traders and customers may access an exchange via different applications: across multiple vendors’ workstations, in-house trading applications and algorithmic engines, often running at exchange co-location facilities. SunGard’s GL Stream Global Execution Server can supervise all orders and executions across all market sectors, independent of the systems used to send the orders. The solution integrates risk on open orders as well as executed trades. The Global Execution Server can therefore help brokers to maintain a global view of their market exposure and available margin.

Yassine Brahim, president of SunGard’s global trading business, said, “The current financial climate has emphasised the need for better control of positions and margins and market exposure. Most financial firms are therefore looking for solutions to face these challenges at the pre-trade level. That is why SunGard has developed more capabilities for GL Stream – the Delta Selector, an addition to GL Stream’s Selector pre-trade risk management solution, and the Global Execution Server, originally developed to trade on Japanese markets, and now enhanced to meet global customer needs.”

SunGard’s ASP-based market connectivity services already offer similar access to more than 80 exchanges and other market centers worldwide.

SunGard’s ASP-based market connectivity services allow BM&FBOVESPA exchange members to outsource the complex activities involved in procuring and managing the hardware, software and telecommunication links required for market access. Customers can benefit from 24/7 access to the Brazilian equities and derivatives marketplace.

They can also trade internationally via SunGard’s GL Net, a market data and order routing low latency network.

Cícero Augusto Vieira, chief operating officer of BM&FBOVESPA, said, “BM&FBOVESPA has been developing its direct market access (DMA) business since 2008: DMA order routing brought 156,262 trades in July, in comparison to 112,621 trades in June. We welcome initiatives that can help our members reach our markets more easily and cheaply. With its ASP-based market connectivity services, SunGard can help us gain new local and international trading customers.”

Yassine Brahim, president of SunGard’s global trading business, commented, “The Brazilian market is attracting more and more DMA orders. SunGard has been working with BM&FBOVESPA and its predecessors since the 1990’s to help provide DMA connectivity for both the equities and derivatives segments of BM&FBOVESPA. We’re demonstrating that, through our ASP-based market connectivity services, SunGard can now respond to local and international demand for trading on the exchange while helping control the costs of market connectivity.”
