RMB Asset Management says that it chose the Capstone suite for its multi-asset class investments, including its equities, fixed income and derivatives businesses. Capstone Minerva, a next generation OMS and trading system, aims to enable RMB Asset Management to manage workflows, receive market data feeds and place orders with counterparties, all in real time.

Capstone Tesseract, LatentZeros modelling and decision support tool, is designed to allow asset managers to optimise the performance of their portfolios and maximise returns. Capstone Sentinel will assist RMB Asset Management to manage compliance against its pre-trade embargo lists. Once fully implemented, Sentinel will integrate into the firms proprietary systems, ensuring compliance across all pre and post-trade activities.

Stephen Jones, head of IT at RMB Asset Management, comments: The Capstone product suite provides significant additional strategic and tactical investment management process capabilities to RMB Asset Management front and middle-office staff. The streamlined trading cycle improves RMB Asset Managements tactical trading process with the additional benefits of reduced risks.

Stuart Campbell, SA head of sales at Peresys, explains: The speed and success of the implementation at RMB Asset Management validates Peresys choice of LatentZero as our partner in the provision of front office solutions to our buy-side customers in SA. LatentZero Capstone will bring comprehensive and extensible functionality to these clients as it is open and easily accessible from other in-house and external applications.
