The TEP Exchange
Case Study
With the ability to work both online and offline on complex datasets, the trader
interface allows the complex pricing structures to be tuned simply and quickly.
iMeta built a system to give the market-makers the ability to manage their prices
through a Web Services interface to the trading platform. With the ability to work
both online and offline on complex datasets, the trader interface allows the complex
pricing structures to be tuned simply and quickly.
The TEP Exchange is a web-based exchange for Traded Endowment Policies, enabling
instant deals between market-makers and Independent Financial Advisors (IFAs). This
unique environment provides an efficient and user-friendly link between participants
in the TEP market.
The TEP Exchange is completely independent and does not buy or sell endowments,
but rather facilitates the trading of TEPs through an exchange platform.
Underpinning the site is an extremely large SQL Server database (running to over
100 million rows) that describes how the various market-makers value differing policies.
This solution demonstrates how iMeta technologies can scale up to the very largest
of back-end systems.
