Quantitative Consultation Services
we support our clients either with a team or with individual experts
Our Services
We have many years’ hands-on experience in quantitative model development and validation. This ensures that we can find a good balance between business and regulatory requirements, IT limitations and mathematical soundness.
We are also continuously involved in research activities, so that we stay as hard-core quantitative researchers and can tackle versatile and challenging tasks given by the clients.
Our services to banks and similar institutions include the development or validation of
- Counterparty credit risk models: PFE, EEPE and XVA calculations for financial products across asset classes; calibration of model parameters; backtesting of model choices; IMM benchmark; SA CCR benchmark
- Pricing models: interest rate products, credit derivatives, FX, equity and commodities, banking-book loans, etc.
- Market risk models: FRTB-IMA; FRTB-SA; Basel3; Basel4
- Credit risk models：Economic capital; risk allocation; stress testing framework; Ex-ante pricing of loans; RaRoC
- ALM models: interest rate models and behavior models
- Liquidity risk models: Net-Stable Funding Ratio and Liquidity Coverage Ratio
- Data related: data outlier detection and gap filling; data proxy methodology
Our services to e-trading firms and FinTech clients encompass
- Time series analysis and prediction: second-level, minute-level, hourly or longer horizons; econometric models and machine learning based models
- Crypto currency products: fast pricing and calibration
- FinTech credit risk models
- Backtesting of trading strategies
- Development of financial products, etc.
Our Advantage
Our expertise focus in the research, development and validation of mark-to-market models for financial instruments across all asset classes as well as various bank account positions.
