Risk Markets Technology Awards 2019 winners' review

The pressures and constraints under which institutions have been operating since the onset of the financial crisis have forced trading and risk technology to evolve. In the old world, vendors offered standalone specialist systems; in the new world, they have been forced to become more flexible, by integrating with existing infrastructure, and more modular. Instead of taking everything, customers increasingly want to pick and mix.

This is creating openings and opportunities for narrowly focused financial technology – known as fintech – firms, for example, in the fields of collateral management and buy-side risk management.

This year’s Risk Markets Technology Awards reveal a sector in flux. The judging panel of practitioners and Risk.net editorial staff recognised a mix of incumbents and insurgents that were able to demonstrate they had responded to the market’s changing needs.
