Imagine Software, a provider of real-time portfolio and risk management solutions worldwide, announced that DTC Investment Management (DTCIM) has selected its Derivatives.com ASP service for portfolio and risk management, with particular emphasis on customised reporting functionality, scenario analysis, and reduction of operational costs.
DTCIM—a research-driven fund management firm specialising in Chinese absolute return investments, with offices in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai—realised it was time to further enhance its proprietary applications and benefit from the much more performance only available in a real-time risk and portfolio management system. In selecting Imagine’s vendor-managed ASP service, DTCIM gained needed business functionality and easy scalability while simultaneously cutting system support and maintenance requirements, allowing it to focus on its core investment business.
“Imagine’s ability to deliver a reliable, flexible, and function-rich hosted solution—coupled with its extensive experience across the Asia-Pacific region—immediately stood out when we were evaluating different systems in the market,” explained Yuhong Gao, Executive Director and Head of Risk Management at DTCIM. “In servicing our institutional clients, we employ a wide range of techniques and instruments to control risk and enhance returns. Therefore it was imperative to have a system in place that could fully support our investment approach. Imagine fit the bill perfectly.”
According to Yuhong, among the advanced capabilities that convinced DTCIM to step up from proprietary applications were Imagine’s customised reporting functionality, ability to generate comprehensive portfolio statistics, and sophisticated scenario analysis capabilities—all of which better supports the firm’s investment decision-making process. As an added benefit, Imagine’s rapid implementation process had the system up and running in production status within a month of contract signing.
Yvonne Dahl, Global Director of Sales and Marketing at Imagine, said, “Today’s leading firms focus on maximizing returns through better portfolio and risk capabilities and lowering operational costs, something that Imagine is very well positioned to help them achieve. The addition of DTCIM to our client base is yet another indication of the continuing growth and sophistication of the Asia-Pacific market. We are very excited to be working with DTCIM, well-recognised for its innovative and successful investment strategies in China and across the region.”
