Trade Life Cycle

SuperDerivatives (SD) offers a rich set of deal capture and life-cycle management tools, enabling banks to monitor the status of deals and carry out necessary life-cycle events, ensuring an instrument’s status is up-to-date.

SD's life-cycle management tools include:

  • Online deal blotter to enhance management of derivatives activities by constantly monitoring all instruments in the system, alerting users if action is required on any life-cycle events and allowing them to be carried out
  • Ability to easily exercise or expire options, knock in or knock out options, deliver deals, set the fixings and much more
  • Full cross-system bi-directional synchronisation of deals and deal life-cycle events with users’ other systems, using SD's integration module's Financial products Markup Language (FpML) protocol


SD's multi- and cross-asset blotter can display trades in all asset classes and captures deal data into its hierarchical, user-defined book structure.

SD supports integration between its pricing and deals management products and any existing system, using the industry standard FpML protocol, and SD-Connect, SD’s integration gateway. This integration allows investments to be preserved in a user’s existing workflow, ensuring Straight Through Processing (STP) between SD and the rest of the operations.
