For Market Infrastructure

Integrated risk intelligence for market infrastructure

One live network model of member, market and liquidity risk — wired to your default-fund and margin adequacy — so PFMI and EMIR reporting and the default-waterfall read draw on one current model rather than a periodic programme.

What Abgalis does for a CCP or FMI

Margin engines run end-of-cycle, default-management workflow runs on the drill calendar, settlement risk sits in its own system — and contagion across members, the thing a default waterfall exists to withstand, falls between them. Abgalis carries member, market and liquidity risk as one continuously updated network wired to your default resources, so margin, default-fund and waterfall coverage stay current and the paths a default takes across members and domains are explicit.

It is analytics, not authority: your risk function retains ownership of margin, the default fund and every judgement. Abgalis is the intelligence layer beneath it.

Default waterfall

Cover-2, live

Margin, default-fund and waterfall coverage — Cover-2 and stress-loss — regenerated live against member positions, so the read is current rather than rebuilt each cycle.

PFMI / EMIR

One current model

CPMI-IOSCO PFMI disclosures and EMIR reporting assembled from the same live model — consistent, versioned and audit-ready — with recovery and resolution expectations carried alongside.

Member contagion

See the cascade

Member, market and liquidity risk propagated across the network, so a default and its liquidity and operational consequences are seen together — the same transmission the Cascading Risk Index measures.

War-game the waterfall

Because members are modelled as one live network wired to your default resources, you can play a default through it — a large-member failure, a market gap, a liquidity strain — and watch it cascade across members and domains and resolve to Cover-2 and waterfall adequacy.

See it on the war-gaming view, how the integrated proposition compares with margin and default-management tools on the comparison for market infrastructure, and the transmission axis in the Cascading Risk Index.

For market infrastructure — questions

What does Abgalis do for a CCP or market infrastructure?

Abgalis carries member, market and liquidity risk as one continuously updated network wired to your default-fund and margin adequacy, so PFMI and EMIR reporting and the default-waterfall read draw on one current model and member contagion is explicit. It is a data and analytics layer beneath the risk function, which retains accountability for margin and the default fund.

How does it help with the default waterfall and Cover-2?

Margin, default-fund and waterfall coverage — Cover-2 and stress-loss — are regenerated live against member positions, so the adequacy read is current rather than rebuilt each cycle. The margin and default-fund calculations remain owned by the risk function.

How does it help with PFMI and EMIR reporting?

CPMI-IOSCO PFMI disclosures and EMIR reporting are assembled from the same live model — consistent, versioned and audit-ready — with recovery and resolution expectations carried alongside. Firms should confirm current requirements against CPMI-IOSCO and applicable source material.

How does it model member contagion?

Members are represented as a live network and a default is transmitted across members and domains, so its liquidity and operational consequences are seen together — the same cross-domain transmission the Cascading Risk Index measures, applied to the membership.

Does it replace our margin, default-management or settlement systems?

No. Abgalis is an intelligence and integration layer above the systems you already run — margin/VaR engines, default-management workflow, settlement-risk systems, network tools. It connects them into one live contagion view; it does not replace them or the ownership of the numbers.

Is Abgalis authorised, and do member positions stay in our environment?

Abgalis Limited is a risk data and analytics provider, not an authorised or regulated firm, and does not provide regulated advice. It is designed to deploy inside your own infrastructure so member positions and default resources stay under your control, with DORA and operational-resilience expectations treated as first-order; arrangements are confirmed contractually.

Does it apply to CSDs and exchanges as well as CCPs?

The integrated, network approach fits central counterparties most directly, but the same cross-domain modelling applies to other market infrastructures — CSDs, exchanges and settlement systems — where member or participant contagion and operational resilience matter; scope is agreed per engagement.
