FRTB

TRUSTED PARTNER FOR YOUR FRTB COMPLIANCE
In 2025, FRTB will become the European norm for Pillar I market risk. Enhanced reporting requirements will also kick in at the start of the year. Are you on track?

Your institution is probably facing complex and costly challenges, whether you are opting for the alternative standardised approach (ASA) built on the sensitivities-based method (SBM) or the alternative internal model approach (AIMA) based on Expected Shortfall. Leveraging on our expertise in navigating regulatory complexities and market risk analytics, our service provides support to finalise your FRTB framework, in alignment with your institution's risk management objectives and regulatory obligations.

In this context, we propose a stand-alone FRTB solution, that you can use as a calculation or validation tool for the ASA.
