Investment Banks Gain Broader Asset Class Coverage With New Version of Misys Sophis RISQUE

LONDON, June 16, 2011 -

Misys Sophis RISQUE 6.2 Introduces New Security
Finance/delta one Capabilities,
Improves Operational Efficiency and Adds New Risk
Control Tools

Misys plc (LSE: MSY), the global application software and
services company, today announces the availability of Misys Sophis
RISQUE 6.2. The latest version of the trading and risk management
solution for investment banks significantly improves risk
management capabilities, broadens asset class coverage and enhances
operational efficiency.

Over the past year financial institutions have strengthened
their securities finance and delta one businesses involving a
growing use of cross-asset portfolio swaps, contracts for
difference (CFDs) and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). To satisfy
these demands, Misys Sophis has continued to make significant
investments into extending this asset-class coverage within
RISQUE.

RISQUE 6.2 allows investment banks greater flexibility on
underlyings (including bonds and convertible bonds), and payment
rules, as well as a refined collateral management. A heavy emphasis
on the credit sustainability of financial players has pushed
investment banks to strengthen their collateral management
processing with precise initial margin calculation and frequent
variation margins capacities.

“Banks are paying more and more attention to market and credit
risk, but also to liquidity and operational risk,” states
Jean-Baptiste Gaudemet, Head of Product Management at Misys Sophis.
“We have worked very closely with our RISQUE customers to improve
the operational performance throughout each instrument’s life
cycle, allowing them in particular to scale their flow
business.”

RISQUE 6.2 introduces a new comprehensive event diary that
accelerates the management of large complex cross-asset portfolios.
It delivers transparency on portfolio management, mitigating
operational risk while increasing efficiency through improved
straight-through processing.

The risk management solution has been further enhanced with full
support of P&L explanation on fixed income, as well as
liquidity-adjusted VaR.

Additional enhancements to Misys Sophis RISQUE 6.2 include:

Asset Classes

RISQUE 6.2 delivers significantly broader coverage and enhanced
support for each asset class:

• Credit-linked notes are now available as a specific
  multi-currency asset class. Credit risk of the issuing company and
  the reference entity are taken into account for the different
  default events.
• Enhanced management of physical gas specificities of Europe and
  US, enabling definition of derivative products such as gas US basis
  swaps
• FX delta/gamma risk can be split on FX liquid pairs

Accounting

• Full support of accounting book closures (End of Year, End of
  Quarter, End of Month)
