Commodities trading firm Sucden Group has formed a partnership with the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), a global technology and data provider, to strengthen global trading and investment activities.。

In the partnership, Sucden hopes to leverage ICE's Portfolio Analytics platform for real-time pricing, trading and risk management of derivatives, signaling Sucden's commitment to staying ahead in dynamic markets.。

Portfolio Analytics platform provides market data and analytics streaming services。The platform will allow Sucden to price and monitor exposures during the session, according to ICE's statement.。

Improve portfolio management efficiency

Greg Merran, Head of Portfolio Management and Chief Investment Officer at Sucden, said: "We have been looking at how we can improve or complement our portfolio management platform.。While we already have different analytical tools and frameworks to support our portfolio of cross-asset volatility and correlation positions, ICE's superior performance in analytics and data will further enrich our capabilities.。"

ICE's "Portfolio Analytics" is a managed solution that handles all the calculations and provides the resulting data directly to Sucden。This integration of analytical data with other applications and tools ensures significant efficiencies and streamlined workflows for trading firms。

Adopting ICE Derivative Solutions

Sucden's front, middle and back office teams will have access to ICE Portfolio Analytics to analyze holdings at the single security and portfolio level。The access covers multiple asset classes and will facilitate pre-trade price discovery, decision support tools, risk management and analytics。

Last year, Sucden expanded its partnership with global exchange giant Nasdaq.。The renewed partnership reportedly allows the company to use Nasdaq's technology to enhance its market coverage and data analytics capabilities.。

This partnership enables Sucden to enhance real-time monitoring and mitigation of market and liquidity risk across its various trading portfolios, including proprietary trading and client trading。The move comes at a critical time when financial markets are facing increasing volatility and uncertainty.。

In addition, the agreement will integrate enhanced controls into the Nasdaq risk platform, expanding its market coverage to new exchanges in Europe, North America and Asia.。This expansion is in line with Sucden's commitment to meet evolving customer needs and maintain leadership in a rapidly changing market environment。
