Synopsys.
I worked for Synopsys as a Senior Consultant involved in enhancing and developing the RIMS System. The RIMS system is a settlements system designed for use by investment banks.
As a senior consultant I was responsible for meeting with Synopsys clients to discuss and agree requirements. Following agreement on requirements I produced a design for a new system to meet those requirements.
Projects I was responsible for include:-
• Specifying a withholding tax system. The withholding tax system needed to be used for trades and benefit payments. The system automatically calculated the necessary withholding tax applicable in the county or origin and country of receipt (taking into account any tax agreements applicable between those countries). The system is capable of automatically taking into account whether details passed to it are gross or net of tax. The tax calculations are then used to update the company accounts affected by the trade or payment.
• Specifying a corporate actions system to calculate benefits due from Fixed Income Instruments and Equities. The system automatically caters for long and short positions, as well as positions impacted by outstanding repos, buy/sellbacks, failed trades etc. The system was also designed to deal with CEDEL and EUROCLEAR automatic compensation requirements.
• On site at Yamaichi and BZW specifying a cost of carry system to calculate the overnight costs of holding a position. The system automatically allocates funding supply received from repos, FX swaps etc. to positions and calculates the cost of funding each position, book by book. The system calculates the cost of borrowing by analysing repos including the implications on costs of late settlements on the cost of a repo. The system also catered for the differences in repo costs where substitution of collateral occurs as part of the repo and where benefit payments occur during the life of the repo and are used to offset restitution amounts.
• On site at ABN Amro specifying a new Gilts system to deal with the new CGO requirements and identifying the key differences between gilt processing and the processing of Fixed Income instruments. The new system particularly focused on the CGO fungibility issues, and the ability for stripping and reconstituting Gilts.
• On site at Yamaichi specifying an FX Swaps system. The system allows users to enter an FX Swap as the two trades (bargains) and automatically produces the accrual accounting over the life of the swap.
• Project leading an Agency system. The agency system is designed to cater for many to many agency trades (i.e. where several market trades are used to cover several client requirements). The system automatically calculates client allocations and also automatically generates all necessary accounting entries.
• Specifying an Order Entry system. The Order Entry system is designed to act as a "sales interface" to the Agency system. It collects order details and deals with all standard order types e.g. "At Best", "Fill or Kill" etc. The system generates messages, as required, for automated systems, such as SETS and SWIFT and automatically calculates commission.
