Optimisation of counterparty credit risk allows proactive management of capital and funding exposures for OTC derivatives portfolios.

Our easy to use solution enables you to address the key issues that drive the cost of maintaining a portfolio simultaneously:

  • Capital costs, driven by leverage ratio as well as standardised and internal model-driven Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) via SA-CCR and IMM
  • Funding costs – resulting from non-cleared margin and CCP IM
  • Gross exposures impacting G-SIB, balance sheet, and general housekeeping.

 

Our solution supports all major asset classes.
