Murex Market Opportunities, M&A and Geo Expansions
As of mid-2021, the number of financial institutions choosing the SaaS deployment model has doubled compared to the whole of 2020.
In 2019, Murex invested $125 million in research and development to enrich our platform at many levels, including functionality and underlying technology. It represented around 20% of Murex's revenue, which is a larger share than many big tech companies invest.
In December 2019 Gulf Bank, one of Kuwait’s largest banks has selected MX.3 to modernize and digitalize its capital markets and treasury IT. The decision to select Murex is part of Gulf Bank’s wider re-platforming of its IT landscape in which Murex will be delivering a fully integrated solution for Gulf Bank’s treasury and capital markets functions, which will extend the capabilities of the bank’s treasury operations and enable it to extend its client solutions offering.
Through this new partnership, Gulf Bank will deploy Murex’s MX.3 platform, providing robust technology infrastructure for core and support operations, as well as risk management. Also, this will mean that the global presence of Murex its gonna be expanded in Kuwait.
Murex has developed a strong risk management offer that fits within the wider trading platform, eliminating the gap between front office and risk that traditionally exists in legacy systems. MX. 3 for Enterprise Risk Management, Murex's risk management suite covers both market and credit risk.
The PFE/CVA product has become an additional component of its extensive enterprise risk management offerings, enabling Murex to incorporate best of breed software packages into integrated solutions capable of handling myriads of tasks from trading to processing and from clearing to risk management.
Murex launched an Enterprise FRTB solution as part of its MX.3 platform to address the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's new minimum capital requirements for market risk. It also has solutions for SA-CCR and Initial Margin regulatory compliance. Murex continues to actively invest in this area, ensuring clients can keep pace with regulatory changes.
Murex Risks and Challenges
Small number of customers means concentrated revenue source.
Currently, about one-third of its over 2,000 employees are based in France and the rest is distributed all over the world. The makeup of its installed base is more diverse with French banks making up a small portion of its global client base.
What that suggests is that Murex needs to continuously evolve its operations to reflect the underlying changes to its customer mix as the TRM vendor continues to pick up customers in Asia, South America, and the Middle East.
Murex Ecosystem, Partners, Resellers and SI
In 2016, Bankdata, Murex and Synechron began their partnership which will provide Danish banks with MX.3 as a core shared platform for its utility service in order to rationalize their treasury management and capital markets activities. These services have now been extended to support Ringkjobing Landbobank and Alm. Brand Bank treasury management, coming just six months after the previous go-live. The next scheduled phase of the program will be the onboarding of the remaining Danish banks and the implementation of solutions to comply with FRTB regulation. The MX.3 solution will become available for all banks of the Bankdata consortium. The banks will be able to select the functionality that they require and benefit from a modern cross-asset platform with continuous adaptation to regulatory reform, as well as simpler and more efficient IT infrastructure.
