CHICAGO (September 29, 2021) – Rival Systems (Rival), an award-winning provider of trading and risk management software, today announced Belvedere Trading is leveraging Rival’s enterprise risk platform for real-time Portfolio Margin and Risk Based Haircuts. Rival’s fully hosted and managed solution provides a cost-effective way to monitor the firm’s capital requirements across futures, equities, and options.

“Rival is the best third-party risk system available in the market,” said John Massarelli, Head of Risk at Belvedere Trading. “Along with real-time margin, we find tremendous value in Rival’s VaR and risk slides. From an operations perspective, Rival is fully integrated with our clearing firm so new accounts are automatically added to the system and we don’t have to configure anything when we trade new products.
