How Can Pre-Trade Risk Management Benefit Your Business?

Mitigate Risk Upfront with Minimal Impact to Latency

Nasdaq's Pre-Trade Risk solution enables marketplaces, banks, and brokers to define, monitor, and enforce risk limits on market participants' trading activity to safeguard quality and trust in their market.

The solution's open architecture enables placement of risk checks pre- and at-trade to create a sophisticated defense towards errant orders and trades, as well as credit limit breaches, with minimal impact to latency.

Nasdaq Pre-Trade Risk is a multi-asset class solution, currently used across equities, derivatives, commodities, FX and precious metals markets, and is seamlessly integrated as an add-on service to Nasdaq's high performance trading and matching technology.
