Tier 2 Bank Expands Use of FINCAD Analytics Suite as Bank Restructures Trading Team

VANCOUVER, British Columbia and DUBLIN, Sept. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- FINCAD, the leading provider for innovative OTC valuations, announced today that a Tier 2 European bank has expanded its use of FINCAD Analytics Suite for Excel. FINCAD Analytics Suite was selected because its comprehensive, cross-asset coverage allows the bank to easily price its entire portfolio, which includes interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives.

The bank's derivatives portfolio includes cap-floors, Bermudan and European swaptions, foreign exchange swaptions and knock-out options. It currently uses FINCAD Analytics Suite in its trading department to price these instruments, specifically using curve-bootstrapping. Looking to restructure its trading team, the bank decided to expand its use of FINCAD to take advantage of the comprehensive analytics library and efficiently price its derivatives portfolio.

"When I co-founded FINCAD more than 20 years ago, we wanted to build professional software that was not only easy to use, but also reliable, accurate and fast. Nowadays, although the market and our customers' needs have changed much since then, we are still very pleased to see our how our technology continues to meet all the derivatives valuation needs of an organization," says Bob Park, CEO and President, FINCAD. "And our comprehensive analytics library means that we can continue to meet our clients' needs as they change."
