YMER SC Selects Quantifi as Core Pricing and Risk Management Platform

Quantifi, a provider of risk, analytics and trading solutions, today announced that YMER SC AB (YMER), the first structured credit fund in Sweden, has selected Quantifi as its core Pricing and risk management solution, across its investment business.

YMER primarily invests in CLOs, Synthetic CDOs and ABS and targets above average returns for domestic pension funds, insurance companies, family offices, and trusts. YMER will use Quantifi to support the fund’s complex portfolios of diverse investment strategies, as they look to increase their investment focus and expand into alternatives. Quantifi was one of several providers considered by YMER. As a new fund, YMER wanted to partner with a reputable technology provider that was robust, easy-to-use and offered broad product coverage including complex assets. YMER also wanted a solution that would allow them to be up and running quickly and that could scale with the fund to meet future needs.

“Quantifi was by far the best solution we had seen. We liked the fact that Quantifi offered exactly what we needed without an expensive development process and that the technology is scalable to support the fund as we grow,” comments Stefan Engstrand, CEO, YMER. “We have been particularly impressed with the enhanced level of functionality and flexibility to configure the solution to our needs. It is this, combined with the fast time to market and uncompromising support, why we believe we made the right choice in selecting Quantifi. I would highly recommend Quantifi,” continues Stefan Engstrand.

Quantifi’s integrated solution delivers cross-asset trading, front-to-back operations, position management, market, credit, counterparty and liquidity risk management, margining, and regulatory reporting. As well as supporting the key regulatory and industry practices such as EMIR, AIFMD, MiFID II and CRD4, Quantifi applies the latest technology innovations to provide new levels of usability, flexibility, and ease of integration. This translates into a dramatically lower time to market, lower total cost of ownership and significant improvements in operational efficiency.

“We are delighted to broaden our client footprint in the Nordic region with the addition of YMER to our buy-side client base,” comments Roland Jordan, Head of EMEA Sales, Quantifi. “With a continued drive for enhanced returns resulting in a wider investment product mix, investment managers are increasingly challenged to make optimal investment decisions. Accurate analytics and access to transparent and easily understood portfolio risk numbers remain a crucial part of that investment process. At Quantifi, we offer our clients the best combination of functionality, technology and support to help them achieve enhanced performance as well as strengthen their risk and operational controls. We look forward to working with YMER in supporting their business needs,” continues Roland.
