One-stop CCP risk model consulting and risk management software solutions
Following the global financial crisis, many governments implemented new regulatory provisions prioritizing the use of “Clearing Counterparties” (CCP’s) to help reduce systemic financial risk.
Many of the existing risk models which underpin these exchanges are perfectly appropriate during typical trading conditions but fail to accurately reflect potential risks during stressed periods.
swissQuants’ Capital Markets Technology team and their award-winning product CleaRisQ provide a real-time next generation risk system for FMI’s leveraging sophisticated and customizable VaR based models.
swissQuants’ Capital Markets Analytics team is a leader in financial risk model methodologies, providing risk model development, prototyping, implementation, assurance, validation and other consulting services to investment banks, exchanges, CCP’s and more.
