February 21, 3013 - Imagine Software, a leading provider of real-time portfolio and risk management solutions worldwide, has introduced a groundbreaking new product, the Imagine High-Volume Risk Management (HVRM) solution.

Building on the award-winning company's two decades of experience delivering sophisticated risk analytics to global investment management firms, this new product helps clearing houses achieve the high speed, high volume, high end risk analysis required by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulations that are scheduled to go into effect in June 2013. It also provides prime brokers, major banks, asset managers and other leading financial institutions with the capability to apply sophisticated, real-time risk limit monitoring on a large scale.

Under impending CFTC Rules 1.73 and 1.74, clearing providers must establish risk-based limits, screen orders for compliance with those limits, and monitor their clients' trading activities with respect to those limits. All this must be accomplished within 60 seconds after a trade has been submitted for clearing. The Imagine HVRM solution satisfies these mandates with a lightweight, cloud-based offering that can be rapidly deployed and easily integrated into a client's existing systems.

With the ability to apply Imagine's extensive risk calculations to thousands of trades per second across millions of positions, clearers and other large financial institutions can achieve greater insight into potential limit breaches, faster and more comprehensive risk analysis, and the ability to respond quickly to changing market conditions.
