DPI was launched in May 2013 by a founding team of capital markets sales, trading, technology, and market risk professionals that also provided the company’s initial funding. Beginning as a leading-edge trading platform for regional banks, the company has added new capabilities to its platforms, including automated hedge accounting and comprehensive interest rate derivative product coverage, and expanded into new asset classes like FX. Derivative Path’s platform has become the system-of-record for interest rate and FX hedges for many of the leading regional banks in the U.S. and this investment will help DPI enhance its offerings while continuing to provide best-in-class client service and support.
Derivative Path’s cloud-based trading technology, DerivativeEDGE®, is a state-of-the-art derivative trading platform that facilitates effortless interest rate and FX hedge activity management.

The platform, which has been used by over 130 banks and institutional clients, also comes complete with automated Dodd-Frank compliance, integrated real-time market data, automated swap data reporting, and cleared trade affirmation.
