Capitolis Achieves Record-Breaking 2025 Across Portfolio Optimization Business
Capitolis, the financial technology company, today announced record-breaking performance in 2025 across its Portfolio Optimization business spanning its FX, Rates, and Credit products. This milestone underscores Capitolis’ position as the industry’s trusted partner for driving efficiency and innovation in portfolio optimization.
Throughout 2025, Capitolis continuously achieved record reductions in FX Optimization across FX Initial Margin, FX Capital, and FX Gross Notional. In Rates Optimization, the company delivered a record reduction in Initial Margin and Capital, with these reductions increasing 3.5 times since the acquisition of Capitalab. In Credit, Capitolis realized significant reductions in Credit Initial Margin.
Capitolis also launched many new innovative offerings including its Futures Porting solution and FX Initial Margin and expanded its Novation service with the introduction of Straight-Through Processing. These offerings were developed in response to client demand, addressing pain points such as reducing the cost of capital, funding, and operational expenses, and have attracted both buyside and regional banks, fueling further network growth. The Capitolis network continues to expand, driving greater efficiency and liquidity for participants.
“Capitolis is recognized as the innovation partner in capital optimization,” said Gavin Jackson, Co-Head of Portfolio Optimization, Capitolis. “We’re seeing unprecedented demand from clients, with more opportunities and requests than ever before. To meet this, we’re investing heavily in our innovation team and accelerating our product roadmap, ensuring we deliver solutions that truly move the market and add value for our clients.”
“Our network continues to break records, and the growth we saw last year is a testament to the trust and partnership we’ve built with our clients,” said Kate Weston, Co-Head of Portfolio Optimization, Capitolis. “By focusing on operational excellence and expanding our platform, we’re driving greater efficiency and liquidity for participants across the industry.”
Capitolis has continued its strong momentum, launching new products, expanding its client network, and strengthening its leadership team with key appointments.
