How would front office power trading and origination functions benefit from RisQuant Power Nominals?

How timely are your quotes? When front office (deal origination and trading) operations are presented with an opportunity, they need to make speedy decisions. Are you struggling to get quotes completed on time? Often, the first to respond gets the deal.

How much confidence do you have in your internal pricing models? Superior value information can lead to tighter quotations and more profitable deal flow. Are you padding your quotes, and missing profitable business? Would adding an external perspective give you more confidence?

How would sophisticated participants benefit? Front office operations that already have sophisticated analytics would benefit by having an independent, external sanity check. Also, Power Nominals supplies additional information that even the most sophisticated analytics overlooks. For example, how are your volatility numbers?

What about smaller participants? Smaller participants and hedgers, who often lack internal analytic capabilities, find RisQuant Power Nominals invaluable for trading and origination. It gives them a tool when negotiating with sophisticated participants that can level the playing field.

Can Power Nominals facilitate counterparty relationships? Yes. By mutual agreement, Power Nominals can serve as an external and independent index for collateral posting. Where there is conflict over collateral posting, referencing Power Nominals might help to resolve those differences.
