Trade Risk Management Solutions for Energy + Commodities Consumers
Large-scale consumers of energy and commodities, such as airlines, CPGs, and manufacturers, use Molecule to compare forward short positions (expected burn) to prepurchases and hedges — enabling them to make smarter decisions with data an ERP just can't handle.
The E/CTRM Designed for What You Trade
Can an ERP handle everything your company trades and consumes? From power and fuel to metals and ags, and even renewable certificates, Molecule’s modern and adaptable energy and commodities trade risk management software has everything you need — all in one place.
A VaR That Just Works
You can get a VaR from many places — but what about one that is right the first time?
Molecule provides that and more, out-of-the-box: a blistering-fast Monte Carlo simulation engine that re-calculates your VaR (portfolio and component) in no time, every time your position changes, and independently-calculated Delta-Gamma VaR and diagnostic information, so you can be sure the numbers make sense.
Model Assets, Structured Deals, and Exotics
With Molecule, you can model virtually anything — in the system that can handle it best.
For every asset, structured deal, or exotic, Molecule can make a daily or on-demand call to a valuation model (yours, ours, or QuantLib's) or an external system or database. It stores a full suite of valuation and position information, and reports it alongside everything else in your portfolio.
Model Hedges
With Molecule, your trades flow in instantly, through our built-in ICE, CME, Nodal Exchange, Trayport, and ISO connectors. Trading elsewhere? Use our spreadsheet upload, our API, or even better — our natural language recognition for OTC trades.
Market data comes your way automatically, using our out-of-the-box market data service. Track your expected burn against hedge coverage to see your net exposure, automatically.
See Your Combined Exposure, Automatically
Molecule produces rich custom reporting, with your input as to what it should contain. View it on-screen, have it e-mailed, or automatically generate tabular reports suitable for your users or customers. Reports are generated in near real-time — generating more time back to your day.
Need to track compliance for hedge covenants? Check. Need to track credit exposures to counterparties and for margin call support? Can do.
Reports the Way You Want Them
Want to use your old spreadsheets for reporting? No problem. Molecule connects directly to your Excel sheets, to show you the right information, the way you're used to seeing it. Want custom reports? Every package comes with a set of custom reports we can make for you.
Additionally, you can send your data to the BI tool of your choice, or use Molecule’s data lake add-on, Bigbang, to merge with other data sources and get even more granular.
Integrations + Add-Ons That Power What You Trade
