Reset

Risk mitigation services

A sophisticated and bespoke risk mitigation solution, RESET is the most advanced matching engine on the market.

Advanced risk mitigation services

For more than 20 years, RESET has delivered innovative solutions for the challenges of managing basis risk in trading portfolios. We focus on the second order risks that result from the structure of the instruments traded or the accumulation of imbalanced exposures over time. Our specialists have direct trading experience in multiple markets, allowing us to help you solve the wide variety of needs beyond simply accessing a very deep—and network efficient—global liquidity pool.

Innovative optimization techniques

Based upon strong sector expertise and extensive client engagement we have developed a state-of-the-art matching engine which allows traders to execute FRA and SPS deals in order to help reduce their fixing or strike risk. Traders can choose the matching criteria and restrictions that determine the combination of offsetting trades. Our expert risk specialists can also develop bespoke matching solutions where needed.
