Case Study: KDB Daewoo Securities future-proofs Synthetic Prime Brokerage with Misys FusionCapital Sophis

KDB Daewoo Securities future-proofs Synthetic Prime Brokerage business

KDB Daewoo Securities, Korea’s largest stock brokerage and investment banking firm by market capitalization, needed a way to expand its Synthetic Prime Brokerage business after major regulatory changes opened new hedge-fund opportunities. Its legacy in-house systems, manual workarounds, and paper-based processes limited scale, product flexibility, and operational efficiency. The firm turned to Misys FusionCapital Sophis to support Delta One trading and future growth.

Misys implemented Misys FusionCapital Sophis to replace legacy systems with a scalable, integrated front-to-back-office platform. The solution automated reporting and trade workflows, enabled near real-time P&L calculation, improved hedge and risk visibility, and eliminated manual handling for tasks like portfolio swaps. As a result, KDB Daewoo Securities gained faster, more accurate decision-making, error-free centralized data access, daily reporting, and stronger control over hundreds of hedge trades, helping drive new opportunities, revenues, and profits.
