Leverage the most comprehensive risk bucket mapping service

Simplifying your UMR compliance and reducing the potential for errors

Our Industry Risk Classification service was designed for all firms in scope for Uncleared Margin Rules (UMR) that are utilising ISDA SIMM™ for their regulatory initial margin. As prescribed by the model rules, firms are required to map the risk class of each underlying credit and equity ISIN to standard SIMM risk buckets. Due to our role in the market, nearly 100% of in-scope firms' CRIF (Common Risk Interchange Format) files are incorporated in the defining of risk buckets, significantly lowering the potential for differences in mapping risk buckets - often a cause for disputes.

Streamline your UMR workflow‍

Industry Risk Classification (IRC) is an important aspect of your ISDA SIMM™ model governance. For clients that subscribe to our IM Risk Generator service to calculate their risk sensitivities, IRC is automatically utilised as the default risk bucket mapping tool.

IRC is available for all in scope firms to leverage as part of their UMR compliance framework. A daily snapshot of the final calculation is taken at 07:00 UTC on each business day. Our service supports mapping for over 65,000 ISINs – making it the largest database of ISINs.
