AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Eventus Systems, Inc., a provider of innovative regtech software solutions for the capital markets, announced today that ENGIE Energy Marketing NA, Inc. has deployed the firm's Validus surveillance and risk software platform to enhance its compliance program.
ENGIE Energy Marketing NA, Inc. is a natural gas, power and natural gas liquids (NGL) wholesale energy marketer that provides market access, hedging and asset management solutions to gas, power and NGL customers in North America. The firm is using Validus to monitor its trading and hedging activities across CME Group and ICE Futures and cleared OTC markets.
Eventus CEO Travis Schwab said: "We are delighted to have ENGIE as a client. Commodity firms that hedge with futures and trade for their own accounts often face fast-moving markets and volatile swings. Our robust monitoring capabilities can take a firm's compliance program to the next level, with easy-to-implement and intuitive financial, surveillance and operational controls. While a broad range of clients from banks to trading firms have deployed our technology, this is one of the first times a commodity-focused corporate has implemented Validus for its compliance program."
Validus gives risk managers, compliance officers and traders a customized dashboard into the trading, operations, surveillance, compliance and risk management activity across the enterprise, with the ability to drill down and visualize all activity. By driving Validus off a reconciled view of both exchange drop copies and direct inputs from the trading systems, customers run key firm processes off a "golden source of data," providing an independent validation across technology platforms.
Schwab said that although buy-side firms face different regulatory demands than sell-side institutions, a robust compliance program is important, both to guard against unwanted activity within the firm and to demonstrate to investors, holding companies, regulators and the public that the firm is transparent and holding itself to the highest standards.
