VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jan 28, 2021–
FINCAD, a pioneer in providing pricing, modeling, and risk analytics, today announced its next-generation analytics – cloud-enabled and powered by Python. One command and a couple of lines of Python code unlocks the most powerful derivatives library in the industry, with a constantly expanding ecosystem of curated models, curves and instruments covering 100 currencies.
“Derivatives are often associated with complexity, time-consuming processing, and reserved only for individuals in physics, mathematics, or engineering,” said Mark D’Arcy, President and CEO, FINCAD. “Our next-generation analytics addresses this business challenge head-on. Financial professionals now have on their desktop the analytical capabilities, historically reserved for large sell-side industry leading firms as well as on demand access to horizontally scalable native cloud analytics. FINCAD’s high-level, Python-enabled API, enables traders, portfolio managers and risk managers alike to easily and transparently work within the vast Python ecosystem.”
Coupling Python’s native data handling with FINCAD’s analytics, one can compute values, sensitivities and cash flows of a derivative, such as a zero-coupon inflation swap, in just a few lines of code. The results can be conveniently returned as pandas data structures, making further analysis and aggregation simpler and straightforward. Intuitive natural syntax offers transparency eliminating black box concerns, making model validation easier. Additionally, FINCAD now provides access to horizontally scalable FINCAD cloud-hosted analytics.
