Taking the burden out of margin and capital regulations

Capital Calculation provides a cost-effective solution for the generation of daily regulatory capital metrics in a timely and repeatable process. We provide the market data and understanding of the complex requirements so that you don’t have to. The service was designed for firms that are required to provide capital calculations to their prudential regulator yet may not have the internal resources available.

Capital Calculation works with industry-standard definitions and methodologies to generate regulatory capital metrics as prescribed by global regulators for all positions/counterparties. The service can replace costly internal processes or be run alongside them for internal model approval.

Using your ORE XML trade data along with IM and VM CSA details, we generate daily metrics including required valuations, sensitivity reports and detailed intermediate result files. Clients using IM Risk Generator can re-purpose the same trade data therefore increasing operational alpha.
