Key Terms

derivatives financial

"OpenGamma, a market leader in derivatives margin analytics for buy-side"

Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on the price or performance of another asset, such as a stock, bond, commodity, currency or interest rate. Investors use them to hedge against risk, to speculate on future price moves, or to gain exposure without owning the asset — like buying insurance or placing a leveraged bet — so they can both protect portfolios and magnify gains or losses, affecting risk and market liquidity.

margin requirements financial

"markets have undergone profound structural changes... particularly in the realm of margin requirements"

Margin requirements are the minimum amount of cash or securities an investor must keep with a broker when borrowing to buy stocks or when holding short positions; think of it like a down payment and required balance on a loan. They matter because they limit how much leverage an investor can use and can trigger a margin call — forcing quick sales to restore the required balance — which can amplify gains or losses and affect market liquidity.

counterparty risk financial

"manage margin-driven liquidity risk without weakening safeguards around counterparty risk"

The chance that the other side in a financial deal — such as a buyer, seller, lender, or derivative counterparty — fails to meet their obligations, for example by not paying, delivering assets, or going bankrupt. Investors care because that failure can cause direct losses, reduce the value or liquidity of holdings, and force extra costs like collateral or hedging; think of it like relying on a contractor who might not finish the job and leaves you stuck paying for replacements.

execution management system technical

"Through its Execution Management System (EMS), TT provides access"

An execution management system is software that helps traders send, track and control buy or sell orders across markets, acting like a GPS and autopilot for executing trades. It matters to investors because it affects how quickly and cheaply trades are carried out, how well prices are captured, and how trading risks and rules are enforced — all of which can change portfolio costs and returns.

order management system technical

"Through TT's Order Management System (OMS), firms can accept, manage and execute orders"

An order management system is software that collects, tracks and coordinates buy and sell instructions for securities from the moment they are entered until they are completed. Think of it as a traffic controller that organizes where orders go, monitors their status, and enforces rules so trades happen correctly and on time. Investors care because a reliable system reduces errors, speeds execution, lowers costs and helps protect against misplaced or poorly executed trades.

multi-asset platform technical

"will significantly enhance TT's multi-asset platform."

A multi-asset platform is a single digital service that lets investors buy, sell and manage many types of investments—such as stocks, bonds, funds, options and sometimes digital assets—through one account and interface. It matters to investors because it makes diversification, comparing costs and rebalancing portfolios easier, much like having a Swiss Army knife instead of separate tools: simpler record-keeping, faster trades and clearer oversight of risk and fees.

open architecture technical

"TT's open architecture allows users to integrate their systems with TT"

Open architecture is a flexible design approach that allows a financial platform or service to include a wide variety of investment options from different providers, rather than being limited to a single company's products. For investors, this means more choices and the ability to customize their investments to better suit their needs, much like a store that offers products from many brands rather than just one.

TT's open architecture allows users to integrate their systems with TT to access their own market connections, private liquidity or execution algorithms and import data from external sources enterprise-wide.
