The Client

Large Life Insurance Company – Investment Group

 

The Problem

The Client was shopping around for an analytics and risk platform to be used by both the trading desk and risk managers.

RiskSpan Edge Platform enabled highly scalable analytics and risk modeling providing visibility and control to address investment analysis, risk surveillance, stress testing and compliance requirements.

The Solution

Initially, the solution was intended for both the trading desk (as pre-trade analysis) as well as risk management (running scenarios on the existing portfolio).  Ultimately, the system was used exclusively by risk management and used heavily by mid-level risk management.

“We feel the integration of RiskSpan into our toolkit will enhance portfolio management’s trading capabilities as well as increase the efficiency and scalability of the downstream RMBS analysis processes.  We found RiskSpan’s offering to be user-friendly, providing a strong integration of market / vendor data backed by a knowledgeable and responsive support team.”

The Deliverables

  • Enabled running various HPI scenarios and tweaked the credit model knobs to change the default curve, running a portfolio of a couple hundred non-agency RMBS
  • Scaling the processing power up/down via the cloud, and they would iterate through runs, changing conditions until they got the risk numbers they needed
