The Lightbulb Moment

The Global Energy Network was originally created to close the last gap in the OTC trade lifecycle.

Once considered a cost of doing business, today’s settlement process in OTC energy trading requires enhancement. Legacy processes have remained in place longer than desired. We see the industry looking at settlements and saying: "It is time; we need to change today's code of practice."

"It is November 12, 2015. It is dark and cold outside. I am meeting Markus, a client of mine. We share multi-million successes in energy. After a nice dinner and a delicious desert, we talk about brokers and energy traders facing gaps in their cross-company post-trade process.

They experience up to 10x higher cost as investment banks, have 20-51 days extended credit risk exposure and billions of illiquid capital. But why?"

 

Working with the industry for the industry for over 5 years, Fidectus has built a user-centric, interoperable and secure plug'n'play OTC post-trading solution. For the first time, it is possible to completely dispose paper, PDF, email, media discontinuities and infrastructure. It is possible to rely on a single source of data, an immutable audit trail and massive scalability. Electronic Settlement Matching is lean, quick, efficient and enables optimized margins. 

Today, Fidectus´ clients experience an average productivity increase of 45-65%. They achieve significant risk capital reductions. They can actively manage their liquidity and credit risk. And they can free up their cash flows by up to factor 5.
