Margin Lending
Overview
GBST Margin Lending™ is a functionally rich and highly configurable margin lending system. It provides seamless integration with brokers, fund managers and CMT providers and offers high levels of automation.
Manage Risk
Configurable risk management rules allow parameters used in risk calculations to be dynamically managed to respond to changing market conditions. For example rules to control exposure to certain securities and sectors and gearing ratios can be maintained for a multi-tiered hierarchical structure with any changes automatically updating all facility values real-time. The hierarchical structure allows new products to be launched and configured without necessitating system changes.
Streamline operations
Straight through processing of contract note information and automated CHESS and cash settlement allows for automated trading and settlement. Cash movements in the form of direct debits and BPAY payments are automated via GBST Treasury module which is standard across the margin lending and broking systems. Other automation innovations include instalment gearing processing and reconciliations with fund managers.
Interface to other systems
Margin Lending™ provides real-time interfaces to CHESS and to the GBST Broker network via the GBST Margin Lending Interface™. The margin lending interface also allows for real time access from web site to allow for real-time ‘what-if” scenario calculations, position and holding enquiries and real time order and contract note validation. The GBST Real time CMT Interface™ allows for funds to be moved from loans to CMT accounts and file based interfaces with fund managers streamlines transaction processing for managed funds and instalment gearing processing. Interface to GBST DCA™ system will provide automatic options position uploads.
