Calypso expands trading software services

San Francisco-based software provider Calypso Technology has enhanced its credit derivatives trading services to manage increased trading volumes and additional instruments.

“Credit derivatives are the fastest and most innovative markets,” said Paul Gardiner, vice-president of marketing at Calypso. “The number of names being traded has increased, and so has the number of curves that traditional systems do not have the capacity to handle,” he added. But he contends the company’s enhanced system, Calypso 7.0, can handle additional trading volumes and numerous curves.

The new release also covers additional instruments, including hybrids, tranched index products and CDO squared. Gardiner said the company will continue to add products as the industry evolves. The next area of focus will be on fixed-income products to accommodate the merging of credit derivatives and bond desks – an emerging trend in the industry, he said.

Calypso 7.0 is a cross-asset, front- to back-office trading system offering support for multiple asset classes. The new version is being released this month.
