According to Harpal Sandhu, CEO of Integral Development Corp., in a recent statement on the launch of OCX RiskNet: “For the first time, a truly diverse set of market participants can offset risk with natural interest from their peers, at the lowest possible transaction cost, safely and without adverse market impact. OCX RiskNet helps make mid-point matching a feasible reality for market participants because it is integrated with their day-to-day execution and risk management workflows.”
“Risk managers who run a B-book or warehouse risk face twin challenges: Fast moving FX prices and the costs of offsetting risk externally. OCX RiskNet breaks ground as a trusted platform, which helps expand the set of internalized liquidity that is available to banks and brokers who want to offset their FX positions quickly, anonymously, and cost effectively,” reiterated Javier Paz, a Senior Analyst at Aite Group, in an accompanying statement.
