Management of Derivatives and Securities

There are various reasons to be active on the capital market. From simple liquidity investment and the generation of interest payments, the hedging of actual transactions or hedging against negative interest developments to pure speculation, the motivations are as varied as the range of products available on the capital market. In particular on a volatile market – be it the financial market or the real market – hedging against market development is a relevant aspect of risk and company management in almost every company. In this context, what could be more logical than mapping and managing these financial products in the SAP® system?

For this, SAP® provides a host of mapping options that can be individually tailored to the individual company’s specific requirements. From conventional money market trading, currency trading and securities management to the sometimes complex products of exchange-traded or purely OTC derivatives, everything from recording and management to posting and evaluation can be carried out directly in the system for every management area, without any complex third-party systems and interfaces.
