designs, develops, implements and supports a broad range of mission critical date and trading systems across front, middle and back-office
operations.
Incorporated in 1996, First Derivatives has served the capital markets industry for 15 years. The Company holds a niche market
position in terms of domain knowledge and capital market asset classes (equities, fixed income, foreign exchange, commodities etc) as well
as expertise in leading financial services systems (such as Calypso, Murex, Opics, Summit, Principia, Opus, Wall Street, kdb+, etc). The
Company has been working closely with leading global financial institutions to enable client proprietary and 3rd party systems cope with
the demands of high volume, complex trading in an increasingly regulated market. This combination of domain knowledge and technical expertise
in leading financial services technologies has motivated the Company to invest in developing its own business models and technology solutions.
