Enhanced Risk Solution

Eurex Clearing is the only clearing house worldwide that provides its members with real-time risk data. The optional interface "Enhanced Risk Solution" lets members listen to their intraday, and where applicable, end-of-day risk and position data. This interface uses FIXML-based messages over the industry standard Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP).

For all member types, including NCMs, the Enhanced Risk Solution provides an important additional tool that they can use either independently or in conjunction with their existing in-house risk management systems to monitor their risk exposure.

Provision of real-time data represents a real step forward because it allows members to monitor developments in risk as they happen. And quicker delivery of risk data promotes more proactive risk management, which protects the integrity of the markets as a whole - especially during volatile markets.

In addition, the Enhanced Risk Solution enables very efficient use of collateral, and can provide indications of intraday margin calls as risk managers can monitor margin surpluses/ shortfalls in real time.
