Millennium PostTradeTM is promising a paradigm shift for the clearing industry as it offers real-time cross-asset portfolio risk management, based on a single, multi-asset, multi-function platform. The product is the first to enable a central clearing counterparty to have real time risk processing and risk management.
In addition, Millennium PostTradeTM platform offers improved operational resilience and lower costs, which allows post trade clients to respond to changing market needs more quickly and cost effectively.

Mack Gill, CEO of MillenniumIT, commented: “We are excited to bring our Millennium Post Trade product, which applies our well tested real-time, resilient trade lifecycle infrastructure to post trade clearing house, such as LCH, a leading global clearing house. Bringing the power of GPU’s and real-time fault tolerant software to modernise clearing house infrastructure is a natural extension of our recent successful launch of London Stock Exchange Group’s Group Ticker Plant (GTP) powered by FPGA technology.”
