Capitolis

Capitolis provides innovative solutions to optimize capital and resource utilization in the capital markets. Its flagship offerings include the Capital Marketplace and Portfolio Optimization platforms. The Capital Marketplace connects global banks with origination capabilities to institutional investors, enabling banks to access additional capital and investors to participate in new investment opportunities. The Portfolio Optimization solution allows clients to offset redundant positions and reduce capital requirements by collapsing or transferring trades through bilateral and multilateral optimizations and novations. 

The company acquired LMRKT, a multilateral optimization and compression provider, in August 2021. The acquisition was expected to enable Capitolis to enhance its trade solution offering to banks, asset managers, and hedge funds. 

As of August 2024, the company had optimized over USD 17 trillion in gross notional trades and facilitated over USD 76 billion in Capital Marketplace financing issuance. 

Key customers and partnerships 

As of August 2024, the company claimed it served over 100 of the world's largest financial institutions, including banks, hedge funds, and asset managers.

Capitolis maintains partnerships and collaborations with several leading financial institutions and industry bodies. In June 2023, it connected its Novations platform to LCH ForexClear's FX Smart Clearing Solution to enhance optimization efficiencies for the FX market. 

Additionally, Capitolis collaborates with regulators and industry participants to address complexities around regulatory changes. It has conducted multiple proof-of-concept optimization runs and working groups to prepare clients for the implementation of the Basel Committee's Standardized Approach to Counterparty Credit Risk (SA-CCR) calculation changes.
