This follows an announcement earlier this year where JPX selected Cinnober for the clearing of the exchange’s listed derivatives market.

The new risk monitoring solution, customized and partially based on the risk module in the TRADExpress RealTime Clearing platform, will provide JPX with unique cross-asset risk monitoring and sophisticated stress testing, back testing and Value at Risk (VaR). The solution will enable JPX to serve global standards and trends across all products.

“The real-time clearing of listed derivatives, paired with sophisticated risk monitoring across all asset classes, are important milestones in our next generation clearing system,” says Hiroyuki Shibuya, CIO of JPX. “This will take our services to the next level and strengthen our position in a global and very competitive market.”
Cinnober has unique experience of providing clearing and risk management solutions to tier one exchanges and clearinghouses, such as Brazilian BM&FBOVESPA, the British LME Clear, DGCX in Dubai, and the South African JSE.

“We’re truly proud of our collaboration with JPX on the modernization of the Japanese post trade markets. The partnership has now been expanded to include a highly-innovative risk management solution, which underlines the great start we’ve made on this journey,” says Veronica Augustsson, CEO of Cinnober. “Building an improved, safer, and even more efficient Japanese market, using new, cutting-edge technology, will give JPX a solid and global competitive advantage.”
