POWERING RISK MANAGEMENT FOR MODERN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

Softek’s Risk & Margin platform provides the speed, transparency, and depth required by broker‑dealers, prime brokers, hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, and stock loan & repo desks. Our system continuously ingests trading, market, position, and financing data to deliver a complete view of exposure across strategies, asset classes, and accounts. With real‑time margin calculations, configurable rules, and automated controls, your risk, operations, and compliance teams gain the oversight necessary to stay ahead of market moves while supporting clients and trading desks at scale. High‑velocity analytics allow you to monitor concentration, liquidity, leverage, credit usage, and portfolio‑level exposures—while margin engines ensure appropriate capital requirements in all market conditions.
