Utopia® — Real-Time Credit and Risk Control

Every market change shifts exposure. Every client trade adjusts margin. Intraday volatility requires visibility that legacy systems cannot provide.

Utopia gives institutions continuous oversight of credit, exposure, and capital utilization across all accounts, currencies, and asset classes. It combines intraday recalculation, AI-assisted margining, and automated exception management within a single control layer for broker-dealers and clearing firms.

Built for today’s markets. Ready for tomorrow’s reality.
