2. 1. Introduction:
Our Market Risk application has a comprehensive set of built-in risk calculations.
Given a basic set of data it can compute various risk metrics in real-time.
The application can be interfaced with OMS or the central database to obtain the necessary data, or it can be provided with data feeds.
The application requires Positions, Securities, Issuers, Countries, and Currencies data from the internal systems.
And Market Data such as Government bonds, Inflation index, Inflation Expectations, LIBOR, Credit Spreads, Prices, Indices, Retail Price Index (RPI), Exchange Rates, Interest Rates, Swap Rates, Future Rates for its Market Risk calculations.
