Services & customers
Sections ↑Cassini supplies margin, collateral and funding-cost analytics for institutional derivatives portfolios. Its calculations connect decisions made before a trade with the margin and liquidity consequences after execution. The asset-management offering combines independent margin reconciliation, cost attribution, collateral selection and stress testing, helping investment and operations teams examine how trading choices consume cash and eligible assets.[1]

Pricing & commercial terms
Sections ↑The reviewed product and contact pages do not publish numerical subscription rates, per-calculation charges or standard licence tiers. Commercial scope therefore needs to be established through a direct enquiry. A useful quotation should identify the portfolios, asset classes, margin models, users and environments included, together with any implementation work and continuing support.[11]
Implementation & delivery
Sections ↑Hosted environment
| Element | Published deployment model |
|---|---|
| Tenancy | Dedicated single-tenant client environment.Source 7 |
| Infrastructure | Amazon Web Services.Source 7 |
| Location | Choice of hosting location.Source 7 |
| On-premises | The inspected deployment page does not establish a generally available customer-operated installation.Source 7 |
Inputs to validate before using analytics
| Input | Reason — editorial analysis |
|---|---|
| Positions | Missing or misclassified trades distort margin.Source 1 |
| Model and house policy | Broker-specific assumptions can explain differences from a regulatory model.Source 6 |
| Collateral inventory | Eligibility and funding cost affect allocation.Source 3 |
| Stress assumptions | Shock size and horizon determine the forecasted liquidity need.Source 3 |
Support & contacts
Sections ↑Cassini identifies dedicated client-services and support leadership on its company page. Its delivery team manages client projects, while the support function provides an operational contact structure after deployment. The reviewed material does not set out a universal implementation duration, support-response schedule or contractual recovery target; those details should be included in the service agreement for the chosen deployment.[12]
Published institutional enquiry routes
Scope Describe the required portfolios, calculations and integration.
Permissions & service scope
Sections ↑Analytics and the underlying financial service
| Analytics output | Separate responsibility |
|---|---|
| Clearing-route comparison | The chosen clearing relationship remains with the clearing provider.Source 10 |
| Collateral allocation | Custody and asset movement follow the institution’s arrangements.Source 10 |
| Funding-cost analysis | Financing is a separate bank or counterparty service.Source 10 |
| UMR calculation | Regulatory scope and model validation remain the institution’s responsibility.Source 4 |
Operator & evidence
Sections ↑The UK company register identifies Cassini Systems Limited, number 08682150, as an active private company incorporated on 9 September 2013. Its registered office is at 78–83 Upper Thames Street, London. This is the legal-entity record; the company’s own history dates the business’s founding to 2014.[15][12]
A December 2021 announcement records a USD 20.5 million growth investment led by Ten Coves Capital with existing investor Mosaik Partners participating. That is dated financing evidence, not a current ownership-percentage statement. The inspected Companies House control record contains an active statement that no registrable controller has been identified; it does not provide a complete shareholder register.[14][16]
