Company profile
researched Aug 2026Capitolis is a New York-headquartered financial technology company that operates two principal businesses for capital markets participants. Its Portfolio Optimization business offsets redundant positions between banks and other counterparties, allowing clients to reduce regulatory capital requirements and the costs associated with carrying those portfolios. Its Capital Marketplace connects global banks that have scalable origination capabilities with institutional investors willing to supply capital, giving banks access to third-party capital and investors access to bank-originated opportunities.
The company describes itself as combining advanced technology with financial structuring expertise, serving both global and regional banks and institutional investors. Its platform enables institutions to offset positions across asset classes, reducing the regulatory capital required for open positions and freeing capacity for additional trading activity. Capitolis states that more than 100 of the world's largest institutions work with it and that it has more than 200 employees and senior management; a 2025 press report put headcount at 160.
Capitolis operates under financial-markets regulation in multiple jurisdictions: its UK entity has been approved by the FCA to operate an Organized Trading Facility, and the CFTC has issued no-action relief covering post-trade risk reduction services relevant to the company.
