Fixed Income Collateral and Repo will be the next beneficiaries of Pirum’s technology and solutions, and I am thrilled to be part of the team bringing these improvements to market.  In a zero-rate environment the cost of inefficiency could be tolerated, that is not the case anymore. Pirum’s got the solution.”
