SuperDerivatives, derivatives pricing and processing provider, significantly expanded support for inflation derivatives in multiple currencies on its interest rate derivatives platform, SD-IR.
Web-based SD-IR is a hedging, investment and risk management tool used by both buy- and sell-side market participants. It now provides more analytical tools for inflation derivatives, broader instrument coverage and more supported currencies and price indices from around the world. Indices from Latin America and Australia have been added to industry standards such as the USCPI, the UKRPI and Eurozone’s HiCPxT. The enhanced platform enables any user to accurately price inflation-linked derivatives and securities, forecast future inflation in a wide variety of indices, and display the information in easy to understand charts and graphs.
The additional functionality is immediately available to all SuperDerivatives SD-IR users.
“Inflation derivatives are one of the fastest growing classes of derivative products on the market today, with applications ranging from retail investment to long-term corporate earnings management,” says Robert Emerson, product manager for interest rates derivatives, SuperDerivatives. “SuperDerivatives’ inflation pricing platform allows users at all levels to better understand and leverage this crucial and dynamic market.
