20 years of development and refinement by our team of Harvard PhDs and top industry leaders.
Our team has built and executed highly successful risk management platforms at WWM, FX Solutions, Financial Labs, and Tachyon
Capital Management.
WWM proprietary portfolio risk methods assess the overall portfolio risk for our clients.
We use VaR and other statistical methods to incorporate asset volatility covariance and order book market analysis.

Our Risk Management System Eliminates The Dealing Desk

Trades of all sizes are handled automatically without the intervention of a dealing desk.
All open positions and currency pairs are aggregated and risk-managed in real time without regard for counterparty.
Our system analyzes the aggregated risk associated with total open positions; it does not consider individual trades.

Our algorithms assess the potential order book market exposure and determine whether potential risks are in excess of preestablished thresholds
We use multiple scenario analyses including Monte Carlo Simulation and Black-Scholes to calculate the potential gain or loss resulting
from a 1% increase or decrease in the underlying assets held in the order book.
Hedging strategies are implemented to effectively manage portfolio risk.

WHITE LABEL EXPLAINED

WWMs White Label solution offers a financial firm the ability to enter the retail margin FX market with
little up-front and ongoing costs, few dedicated employees, and low risk to its franchise name, and little
financial risk.

WWM. A White Label setup will allow the financial firm to offer spot retail FX under their own brand
name; therefore utilizing their global and local recognition and reputation.

White Label partner incurs zero trading risk and holds most of the client funds

WWM offers potential White Label partners a complete turnkey solution. A financial firm can license the
