GoldenSource Launches Derivatives Solution to Offer Complete View of Risk

LONDON and NEW YORK - New Solution Addresses Instrument Level and Counterparty Transparency;
Feeds Into Risk and Trading Applications

GoldenSource Corporation, a global software provider of enterprise data
management (EDM) solutions for financial and securities institutions
worldwide, today launched a new data solution, GoldenSource for Derivatives,
to help financial institutions accurately value portfolios and manage risk
for derivatives products. A preconfigured solution for risk management,
GoldenSource for Derivatives allows for a 360 degree view of instrument,
issuer and counterparty exposure, creating a local CDS warehouse capability.

GoldenSource for Derivatives increases transparency and auditability for
derivatives portfolios held by banks, brokers and asset managers by feeding
trading and risk management systems with accurate and trustworthy data. The
solution was developed in response to client demand for instrument-level
transparency and in anticipation of increased regulatory and repository
requirements

“Given increasing, board-level and regulatory pressure, the industry
needs to increase auditable transparency and decrease the operational risk
inherent with derivatives. This increased oversight directly translates to an
increasing need for industry-led data repository solutions,” said Larry Tabb,
founder and CEO of TABB Group, a financial markets research and advisory
firm.

“With a 360 degree view of activity, a firm can increase their
transparency not just at a simple counterparty level but at a total corporate
hierarchy level,” said Mike Meriton, president and CEO of GoldenSource. “The
complexity of derivatives instruments make it difficult to understand quickly
how changes in underlying data, such as a counterparty credit rating, can
impact values across portfolios unless all data is linked. GoldenSource is
unique in its ability to handle the diverse nature of derivatives data, since
we can source, validate and distribute all terms and conditions data, client
and counterparty details, as well as transaction related data throughout the
life cycle of a derivatives contract.”

GoldenSource for Derivatives organizes, archives, stores and categorizes
all attributes of a wide range of exchange-traded and OTC derivatives,
including any underlying securities’ characteristics. The product provides
flexible integration with document management, trading and risk systems,
allowing firms to build a trusted repository of all derivatives-related data.

The new GoldenSource for Derivatives solution will be showcased at FIMA
2009; Bridgewater’s, New York, March 16-18, 2009. For more information,
