The core discipline of sound trading and investment strategy is Risk Management. Our Risk Management philosophy is simple:

• Identify
• Measure
• Manage
• Mitigate

Penson Futures has pre-trade risk controls in both our proprietary and vendor supplied trading solutions. We also employ dedicated risk management resources that have successfully steered us through the rough waters of the past several years. We extend these two core tools to our clients.

RiskView Penson Futures RiskView is a powerful tool for risk managers to monitor the positions and trading activity of multiple traders. The system updates open futures positions nightly, and receives a post-execution, pre-clearing trade feed from the exchanges via drop copy and live quote feed. P&L is displayed on a real-time basis in an easy-to-use, web-based dashboard.
GlobalRisk GlobalRisk is a robust, near real-time account status tool which provides real and theoretical scenario reporting. The system manages a suite of "Advises" to monitor market activity for sound asset, account and firm oversight for both futures and options on futures.
