  • Independent valuations and risk assessments for vanilla and complex derivatives;
  • Independently evaluate every deal, monitor collateral performance & forecast cashflows;
  • Incorporate multi-curve, RFR curves, and OIS discounting into valuations and risk assessment;
  • Proactively monitor & reveal risks & stress test assumptions;
  • Automate fixed income reporting and maintain compliance with risk & investment guidelines;
  • Consolidate operations and implement controls across portfolios and business areas.

The system is available and proven both as an onsite implementation, or as a fully hosted, Software-as-a-Service platform over the web.
