Exotics and structured trades made easy
Misys Summit MUST is the market-leading tool from Misys Summit. It makes structuring and processing exotic trades as easy as handling the most vanilla of deals, with the same workflow, documentation and risk routines. This dramatically reduces time-to-market for new products.

This includes power reverse dual currency (PRDC) swaps, multi-callable dual currency range accrual swaps and multi-currency equity best-of performance linked notes.
