INTL FCStone Enhances Structured Products Online Calculator (SPOC) with Custom Pricing Functionality
SPOC is an online pricing tool that provides qualified users with open access to IFM's structured products pricing portfolio, showcasing thousands of prices across asset classes in order to bring transparency to the marketplace. With the new custom pricing feature, qualified users can now seamlessly view the Company's real-time structured product quotes at levels other than the current board price. IFM has developed this functionality based directly on client feedback, and it better facilitates the strategies of those customers who want to hedge a given structured product at a specific price. For example, the custom pricing feature would allow a qualified user to determine how far the price of corn would need to move in order for them to hedge effectively. The enhancement builds on the early and substantial success of SPOC, which has seen its qualified user base grow to more than
750 customers since its launch in
IFM has optimized SPOC for mobile use, enabling customers to access all functionality in an easy-to-view manner from any device. Regardless of where a qualified user may be when they login to the platform, they will be provided with educational resources on the Company's structured products, a Mid-Market Mark that brings transparency to the forefront, and more. Additionally, SPOC stores customer pricing histories for reference against future hedging activities. The IFM team analyzes each client's entire risk profile, combined with their initial hedging targets, in order to locate potential risks that the customer may not have considered.
