Energy Trading Precision with Automated Internal Position Transfers in ENDUR

Streamlining Trade Reallocations Across Business Units

Energy Trading Precision with Automated Internal Position Transfers in ENDUR

Trade Ownership with Automated IPT's in ENDUR

In the power and gas markets, trades are often executed by one desk but economically attributed to another, making manual rebooking and ad hoc reconciliation prone to inefficiencies, audit gaps, and inaccurate risk reporting. Managing risk and trade ownership across internal business units in energy trading is extremely critical for energy companies and demands precision, transparency, and automation.

To overcome these challenges, a structured Internal Position Transfer (IPT) mechanism is essential. It must eliminate manual rebooking, preserve audit integrity, clearly delineate trade execution from ownership, and meet regulatory and accounting standards.

Value Creed implemented an automated IPT framework within ENDUR that enables clean, system-driven reallocation of trades between business units, improving control, compliance, and operational efficiency.

Resolving Risk and Reporting Gaps Through IPT Automation in ENDUR

Without automating IPT’s in Endur, companies managing power and gas trading portfolios face persistent inefficiencies and audit challenges. These manual workflows not only delay ownership realignment between business units but also expose organizations to risk misstatements, control gaps, and P&L inaccuracies.

Operational Risk due to Manual Rebooking

Without a system-driven approach, internal trade reallocations are often handled manually, requiring users to recreate trades under the correct business unit. This increased the likelihood of booking errors and introduced unnecessary operational overhead.

Lack of Transparent Linkages Between Trades

Transferred trades had no clear or auditable relationship with the originating deals, making it difficult for risk managers and auditors to trace or validate internal ownership changes.

Inconsistent Risk and P&L Attribution

The absence of standardized logic for IPT’s often results in incorrect P&L bookings and misaligned risk exposures, as financial results remain linked to the executing desk instead of the rightful owner.

Audit and Compliance Visibility Gaps

Manual interventions leave limited documentation and hinder compliance reviews. Without structured metadata and reporting, it becomes challenging to justify trade transfers during internal or external audits.

No Reusability or Process Standardization

Lacking reusable templates and automation logic, teams across commodities and geographies handle IPT’s inconsistently, increasing both process variance and support burden.

Automating Internal Position Transfers in ENDUR

Our framework primarily focuses on enabling seamless and auditable reallocation of trades between Internal Business Units. By automating the Internal Position Transfer (IPT) process, it ensures precise P&L attribution, clear ownership alignment, and eliminates the risks and inefficiencies associated with manual trade handling in Power and Gas portfolios.

System-Driven IPT Deal Creation and Linking

Leveraging Endur’s TranSubTypes, Strategies, and UDFs, we built a structured mechanism to automatically mirror trades between business units.

Integrated Logic for Zero-Touch Execution

Our logic detects IPT-eligible trades and auto-creates mirrored transactions using templates, ensuring desk consistency and reducing operational risk.

Optimized Valuation and Risk Reporting Structure

Configuring non-settleable deals and internal events ensures IPTs reflect internal movements, while strategy filters enable clean, segmented reporting.

Exception Logging and KPI Monitoring

We implemented error logging and reporting tools to track rejected IPTs, flag configuration gaps, and summarize daily deal activity.

Cross-Commodity and Regulatory Scalability

Our IPT framework supports FX and Emissions, aligns with regional standards, ensures accurate instruments, and integrates with downstream systems.

Strategic Benefits of Automating IPT's in ENDUR with Value Creed

The IPT automation framework is designed to extend beyond power and gas into other commodities like FX and emissions. This scalability allows organizations to implement a unified internal transfer model that adapts to evolving business needs and market demands.

Structured IPTs enable organizations to implement internal transfer pricing between business units, a critical feature for multi-entity and geographically distributed operations. This strengthens profit center accountability and lays the groundwork for advanced capabilities like cross-entity netting.

Accurate trade attribution improves desk-level performance tracking and capital allocation. With clear ownership demarcation, firms can optimize collateral usage and make informed treasury decisions across business units.

Pre-established configurations streamline deployment, requiring minimal customization. This leads to faster turnaround times and earlier value realization from the solution.

Automating manual rebooking and middle office coordination allows traders to focus fully on market strategy. This operational efficiency frees up time for high-value activities like hedging, position management, and deal structuring.

Enhance Risk Ownership with Automated IPT's in ENDUR

IPT’s in ENDUR transform trade reallocation across Internal Business Units into a streamlined, transparent process. By eliminating manual rebooking, the solution enhances auditability and ensures accurate attribution of P&L and risk, aligning with compliance and accounting standards. Through structured deal classification, reusable templates, and seamless system integration, IPT’s maintain consistent ownership records without introducing market exposure. Carefully designed instrument selection logic further ensures precision in valuation, reporting, and settlements. Scalable across commodities like power, gas, and FX, this framework reduces operational risk and drives confident decision-making in dynamic trading environments.
