Leading, global investment banks have chosen CMA to provide them with the transparent, independent OTC market data they require throughout their organisation.
As well as providing front offices with the structured view of their live CDS quotes they need to analyse trading opportunities quickly, we simplify the way they assess OTC valuations and price verification. Risk managers and product control teams use our independent intraday and end-of-day CDS pricing service to challenge and validate prices with confidence, while middle offices used it to improve their processes. Importantly, our web-based valuations platform for OTC financial instruments provides risk management, audit and regulatory teams with the transparency and independence essential for meeting the requirements of investors, auditors and regulators.

The structured view of your live OTC prices that it provides means you can act immediately on the latest and best prices, and you are plugging the latest market data into your systems. In addition, CMA can simplify the way your front office assess valuations and independent price verification with our transparent, consensus-based valuations process for OTC financial instruments. Its collaborative features formalise the front office's involvement in resolving challenges and overrides, thereby achieving consensus faster.

Feeding this data and accompanying market and liquidity metrics into your product control proceeses will give you the transparency and accuracy you require.
