SUMMARY:

The Credit Trading division assists our clients in managing their exposure credit risk by offering a wide array of innovative Fixed Income securities and Credit Derivatives products. Credit derivatives, including Credit Default Swaps and Exotic derivatives, have become a key part of the Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities (FICC) division's product offerings, particularly given the importance of these products to our clients and the firm's leadership position in the industry.

This business maintains a high level of market and operational risk, in large part because of the complexity of these products. Technology is a key component in managing these risks and increasing the efficiency of this already prominent and rapidly growing business line. The technology division's strategy calls for a common set of systems across the firm's derivatives businesses (Currency & Commodities, Interest Rate Derivatives, Credit Derivatives and Equity Derivatives). These systems address several business functions; including trade entry and matching, risk management, confirmation and payment processing.

While our group is exposed to a number of different technologies, the cornerstone of our business is a pricing and risk management technology platform that includes an object-oriented database known as SecDb and a powerful programming language called Slang. This technology platform has evolved into a complete rich toolset that is heavily leveraged by FICC trading businesses to price derivatives and underlying assets, to manage risks and to accomplish all the associated tasks required for trading and sales. This technology has given the business a huge competitive advantage allowing for both rapid response to business needs and expansive growth into profitable derivatives business. In short, this technology provides the following main features:
. Ability to write object-oriented classes.
. Expandable using C, C++, and Java; Stable and well-supported.
