ABOUT US

DerivActiv is a web-based company providing powerful portfolio risk management and hedge accounting services for municipal and corporate clients who use derivatives as part of their investment portfolio. DerivActiv was conceptualized and founded as a spin-off from a well-established capital markets and derivatives firm when it became apparent that there was a need for an independent, mark-to-market valuation service for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The adoption of FASB Statement No. 133, which established stricter accounting and reporting standards (for instance the need for corporations to report the fair market value of derivatives on a quarterly and annual basis), accentuated that need. DerivActiv is powered by a proprietary swap trading system that was custom built to meet the needs of the municipal and corporate markets. The DerivActiv website has a dedicated server network that has quadruple power fail-safe measures to ensure that the system will not fail or experience any down time. The website also has several features that assure the security and privacy of our clients' data, such as a secure password-protected login page and clustered fail over redundancy to protect client information.

Independence

As an independent mark-to-market service, DerivActiv is not affiliated with an individual bank, dealer, or financial product. We have no relationships that can influence the integrity of our service or valuations.
