TS Imagine, the global provider of trading, portfolio, and risk management solutions, has announced that Hong Kong-based quantitative investment firm Y-Intercept will continue using RiskSmart+ for another three years. Y-Intercept initially implemented the platform in January 2022 to support its systematic trading operations.

RiskSmart+ is designed to help larger firms scale their risk operations efficiently. By leveraging the solution, Y-Intercept aims to handle increasing trading volumes and expand into new markets. The platform provides real-time analytics, advanced risk models, and workflow automation across multiple asset classes. Additionally, it enables portfolio and risk managers to manage positions, cash, and P&L, while streamlining trade reconciliation with brokers. The extended partnership reinforces TS Imagine’s role in supporting financial institutions with comprehensive risk and portfolio management solutions.

Simarjit (Sim) Johal, Head of Asia Pacific at TS Imagine, commented: “We’re proud to expand our relationship with Y-Intercept as they expand their footprint in multi-asset trading. With RiskSmart +, Y-Intercept will scale and streamline operations – automating complex workflows while enabling the firm to manage increasing transaction volumes. The growth of our relationship with Y-Intercept demonstrates our ability to support clients at every stage of their evolution, using best-in-breed trading technology to navigate fast-paced risks in real-time – allowing their businesses to scale safely as exposures grow in volume and complexity.  We are excited to continue to support the business as it goes from strength to strength.”

Kevin Chang, Chief Operating Officer at Y-Intercept, added: “Our partnership with TS Imagine has been instrumental in optimising our portfolio management workflows. With the ability to access robust security master, automate trade uploads, extract PMS data, and manage positions, cash, and P&L efficiently, RiskSmart + enables us to stay ahead in fast-moving markets and ever-changing regulatory compliance requirements.  Ensuring our business can scale, minimise operational risk and safeguard our investors’ asset is vitally important, which is why we are excited to be deploying TS Imagine’s advanced technology.”
