Asset managers face persistent challenges in the accurate and timely monitoring 
of their investment positions stemming from ever-changing regulations and 
complexities in sourcing exchange-imposed limits. CSS's Position Limit 
Monitoring solution fully automates the tracking of exchange and 
regulator-imposed limits on futures, options and other derivative instruments. 
The platform sources position limits and accountability levels daily on more 
than 50 exchanges, in addition to CFTC and MiFID II limits, leveraging 
automation technology and an API that integrates directly with order management 
systems. Pre- and post-trade monitoring capabilities for position limits enable 
institutional asset managers and hedge funds to build forward-looking 
investment strategies with complete visibility throughout the trading day.

The inclusion of pre-trade controls for position limits strengthens CSS's 
position as a world-class RegTech solutions provider to the investment 
management industry with a comprehensive and global investment monitoring 
offering for compliance with position limits, shareholder disclosure 
thresholds, sensitive industries regulations and issuer shares outstanding data 
requirements.

"Position limit monitoring has traditionally only been done post-trade or via 
an order management system, which is not built for monitoring these limits in 
real-time and adjusting trades before execution," said Ronan Brennan, Chief 
Product Officer of CSS. "Unique in the market, CSS's Pre-Trade for Position 
Limit Monitoring enables front offices and portfolio managers to build orders 
and check forecasted trades against the relevant limits. Implementing these 
controls in real-time permits a firm to maximize its investment opportunities 
while staying ahead of regulatory changes and mitigating related risks."
