Director of Trading
Numerous challenges face the Director of Trading. You must maximize profit within established risk profiles. Balance predictable gain against potential upsides — in many cases working across multiple commodities. You need to gain accurate forward perspectives and a better understanding of risk — enabling more confident decisions and strategic agility. And you must adhere to new, strict compliance rules and reporting guidelines.
The answer: Allegro.
Allegro’s proven, modular component architecture, built from the ground up on Web services, enables unprecedented integration. Combined with Allegro best-of-breed applications, it gives trading teams and their managers dramatic new capabilities.
- Access to every transaction, end to end. View every
transaction or business process from beginning to end at any level, from
individual deal to multiple portfolios.
- Deeper understanding and optimal decision support. Perform
analyses and simulations, even across multiple commodities and variables.
- Integrated physicals and financials. With a single
query, Value at Risk, mark-to-market, positions and other key factors on
both sides can be instantly evaluated as a whole. Result: more accurate views
of value and risk for a single transaction, a defined subset of trades or
an entire portfolio.
- Real-time information capture. Traders gain easy,
widespread use of streaming market data and live feeds from Web-based pricing
services and other resources.
- Advanced analytics deliver real-time decision support
with more accurate forward price curves and optimal combinations of exercise
on complex options and other instruments within user-specified constraints.
- All energy commodities and physical processes
are supported, including refined products, crude oil, gas, NGLs, coal and power.
Traders can analyze and integrate impacts of all processes such as blending,
re-branding and refining.
- Multi-commodity analysis and execution. You can
analyze, plan and execute trades and hedges even across multiple commodities
with unprecedented speed and confidence.
- Full audit and compliance capabilities. Every
user access and action, and every associated document, is tracked and securely
recorded. Statutory reporting complies with requirements of applicable jurisdictions.
- Real-time, on-line collaboration. Users across
the organization can collaborate to ensure informed, coordinated decision
making — increasing
efficiency across the entire business process while ensuring that decisions
are optimized collectively, not just in isolation.
- Market optimization. You can optimize disposition of positions within physical, policy, credit or capital constraints. Full integration enables this capability by giving you ready access to complete information about product value and location — for example, where a product can be physically transported, its total price, and contributing variables such as transaction price, market price and transport costs.
