Numerix FRTB

Numerix FRTB is a high-performance FRTB solution that helps banks transform their Front and Middle Offices to comply with FRTB.

In the early stages of their FRTB planning, banks can utilize Numerix FRTB to perform impact assessments and regulatory scenario analysis, to help them analyze the projected capital impact of FRTB and make well-informed strategic decisions. By evaluating different “what if” scenarios in Numerix FRTB, they can determine optimal trading desk configurations and model choices (Internal Models Approach vs. Standardized Approach) to achieve maximum capital efficiency.

For ongoing regulatory compliance, Numerix FRTB runs daily regulatory reports for all business units from desk level to enterprise level, and calculations can be generated in minutes rather than hours due to Numerix FRTB’s high performance risk engine. Both the Internal Model Approach (IMA) and the Standardized Approach (SA) are supported, so banks can use whichever model is most appropriate for each trading desk.
