CHICAGO (Apr. 25, 2018) – Rival Systems (Rival), an award-winning provider of trading and risk management software, today announced that Parplus Partners is leveraging its trading and risk management programs. Parplus, a hedge fund trading VIX and S&P Complex, has been using the Rival platform since day one for its superior support, speed, market access and integrated enterprise risk capabilities.

“Rival Trader has played a key role in both the initial stages and ongoing success of the Parplus Equity Fund,” said John Stanton, COO of Parplus Partners LLC. “We launched the fund just last year, and Rival has offered us a top-quality front-end trading system from the start while providing fast and efficient access to multiple options and futures markets.
