Interest Rate Compression

Multilateral compression service to reduce risk, notional and trade count.

Faster, cleaner, leaner multilateral compression

Our Interest Rate Compression service reduces gross notional and trade count while preserving the overall risk profile and valuation. Powered by advanced algorithms and backed by unmatched quantitative analytics, we clean portfolios, increase efficiency and improve returns.

Interest rate compression from the Global Optimisation Service of the Year.

Our multilateral compression service standardises portfolios by reducing gross notional and trade count across a broad network. We deliver maximum efficiency by targeting multiple currencies simultaneously and offer flexible constraints so you can reduce what matters most.

Live with the largest global banks, regional banks and buy-side firms and other institutional participants, we’ve eliminated trillions of dollars of gross notional since launch and continue to evolve the service to reduce the footprint of derivatives portfolios. With regular runs at CCPs, we also offer an internal compression service which cleans portfolios between different desks or entities within the same group.

How it works

Submit and validate

Multiple participants and central parties upload their data to our client portal and set their risk constraints.

Ready. Run. Reduce.

Identify optimisation opportunities

We run our fast and intelligent optimisation engine to generate a proposal containing trade terminations, residual trades and risk replacements.

Ready. Run. Reduce.

Accept and execute

Participants validate and accept our optimisation proposal and it is executed at the CCP, reducing notional and trade count and delivering multiple secondary benefits.

Ready. Run. Reduce.
