IHS Markit and OpenGamma Join Forces on Margin Rules

OpenGamma, a margin optimization provider, announced its collaboration with IHS Markit, a leader in information, analytics, and solutions, to help mutual clients reduce the cost of margin management. The offering will unite OpenGamma’s pre-trade margin analytics with IHS Markit’s post-trade derivatives calculation service, providing end-to-end support for in-scope entities. The post-trade calculations extend from IHS Markit’s Portfolio Valuations business as well as CDS pricing and bank consensus data for illiquid derivatives.
