LSEG’s Multi Asset Risk & Valuation (MARVAL) launched in Workspace

LSEG announces the launch of Marval, the leading FX risk and valuation tool on LSEG Workspace.

This capacity enables seamless FX workflows across our key customers communities of:

• Sales & Trading (FX traders, middle and back-office),
• Buy-side (FX asset owners and managers),
• Corporates (treasury)

Navigating FX market fluctuations, the associated currency risks & real-time impact on your exposures presents a number of challenges. LSEG’s MARVAL is designed to transform your trading workflow, providing real-time insight & reporting on your aggregate risk exposure. 

MARVAL provides real-time, comprehensive aggregation of market positions and exposures, along with the capability to analyse these positions using preferred relative value curves. This enables the immediate generation of stakeholder reports in various base currencies, marking positions to market, producing real-time profit and loss statements, and generating cash flow reports to facilitate effective liquidity management—all within a single platform linked directly to your trading platform.

Seamless Integration and Real-Time Analysis

MARVAL is embedded within the end-to-end trading workflow available in Workspace, leveraging LSEGs Price Discovery Data as well as comprehensive Position & Valuation Analytics including the user defined Curve Builder. Trades are captured via trade tickets, spreadsheet upload or automated STP from your FX venues through the Deal Tracker service (DTaaS), and are then available for real-time analysis, providing a consolidated view across all your trading activities.

MARVAL enhanced workflows unlock trading efficiencies for FX & Interest Rate traders at Banks, Asset Managers and Corporates as well as Treasury departments, complementing in-house Treasury Management Systems or Front/ Mid-office market risk reports provided by in-house systems.

LSEG’s Group Head of FX Sell-side Trading, Bart Joris, said: “MARVAL is the most crucial component of the ‘end-to-end’ FX trading workflow, as it enables both pre-trade decisions and post trade tasks. Having instant, real-time access to your P&L, mark-to-market, or cash flow at your fingertips—right where you trade—can be transformative in generating alpha.”
