The problem
Subsidiaries trade derivatives through several futures brokers and many funding accounts, so headquarters often receives only a summary at month-end. Whether plans were exceeded, traders overstepped their authority or exposure ran out of control is only known after the event, and reporting upwards means chasing each subsidiary for figures and merging them by hand.
What the platform does
| Control step | How Tranexio handles it |
|---|---|
| Qualification | Which business types and products each subsidiary may trade |
| Plan | Annual, quarterly and daily plan limits, with execution tracking |
| Authorisation | Each trader’s scope, products, limits and validity period |
| Limits | Consumed when an order is placed, released on close-out and expiry |
| Trading | A single order entry point through the multi-account trading gateway |
| Monitoring | Alert centre, material-event reports and a group exposure view |
| Reporting | Subsidiary submissions and quarterly and monthly reports |
The four-level control chain and hedge accounting share the same hedge relationship data, so control and accounting treatment stay consistent.
Who it is for
- Group headquarters responsible for governing and reporting on subsidiaries’ derivatives business.
- Trading groups dealing through several futures brokers and accounts at once.
- Companies that must strictly separate and document hedging versus speculation.
