RISK MANAGEMENT NEWSLETTER: RISK IN THE MARKET
Risk
Management has had a great start to 2011 with the announcement that
one of the World's leading banks have decided to manage their
entire liquidity operations on our new product TopOffice. We have
also received recognition as the overall best risk technology
vendor at our industry awards and the Best Vendor for Dealing
Technology by FX Week. I am delighted that the second edition of
Risk in the Market provides me with the opportunity to share some
of this excitement with you.
A lot has happened in the six months since we published the
first edition of our online magazine/blog. Looking back to November
and the risk awards, the first thing I would like to say is Thank
You - to everyone who helped us win Risk Magazine's 2010 technology
survey. As a result of your support, Thomson Reuters was
ranked as the Number One Risk Technology Provider, after being
placed in the top three positions, in 23 separate categories,
including
eight first
place wins.
MARKET DRIVERS
Six months is a long time in our industry, and in this issue of
Risk In The Market our Global Heads of Product Development and
Technology, Boris Lipiainen and Alex Hernandez, talk about what
they see as some of the key market drivers in Trade and Risk
Management for the year ahead. The articles provide a
fascinating insight into how we are developing our business and I
encourage you to read them. What is clear is that there is no
shortage of opportunities for us to take advantage of in
2011. A full list of contributions is below.
Of course realising opportunity requires investment and I am
delighted to be able to tell you that we are making some
significant steps forward across our product lines. Last
year, while many companies were cutting back, we actually increased
our investment in R&D by 5%. This commitment is really
starting to pay off as we create a virtuous circle: new customers
are joining our product communities, in turn they are contributing
ideas and best practice which is improving our products even
further.
MARKET FORUMS
Finally, I would like to draw your attention to an exclusive
opportunity for our Risk Management customers. This month we kicked
off our series of global market forums, with our first taking place
in Dubai. Over the coming three months we will be hosting our
customers in India, Thailand, Italy Germany and Spain.
Details are on our website. The forums bring together some
of the biggest names in our business (over 75% of the worlds top 20
banks use Thomson Reuters Risk Management products.) They provide a
unique opportunity for customers to come together and discuss what
is happening in their markets, providing them with an opportunity
to find out how the latest product developments could help them
drive a competitive advantage.
I hope you enjoy this interactive magazine - please do let us
know your thoughts and I look forward to reading your comments.
Best Wishes
