Equity Derivatives Support - Key definitions

Asset definition
An accurate description of equity derivative products based on any type and combination of underlying assets; a precise formalism that exhaustively describes the terms and conditions of a financial contract with a limited set of core constructs and reflects the contract’s evolution over time.

Confirmations and trade matching
Automation and digitization of trade confirmations, including trade–matching services offered by central matching utilities. This requires the ability to systematically detect and process all events in a portfolio of complex products, and perform required simplifications as a contract progresses in its life cycle.

Portfolio servicing over time of the contract
Automated maintenance of equity derivative portfolios, which entails systematically detecting and processing events in a portfolio of complex products, keeping a full history of events, performing required simplification, and visualizing future events.

Exception management and workflow implementation
The integration of events and messages driven by external workflow and exception management systems into existing equity derivative applications. It essentially involves process automation that reduces operating expenses and operational risk.
