Credit exposure can also be lowered significantly for well diversified counterparties due to economic offsetting effects within portfolios. Razor's advanced analytics module includes Razor's distributed processing architecture which provides the accuracy of Monte Carlo simulation with near real-time performance.
Razor's Advanced Credit Risk module provides a specific solution for banks to take advantage of the Basel II standards and significantly reduce the regulatory capital requirements of the trading book. Razor provides a mechanism/methodology for banks to incorporate a sophisticated internal model producing advanced exposure calculations, including PFE, EE, EEE and effective EPE.
All of the functionality provided by the Credit Risk module is supported in the Advanced Credit Risk module. This includes broad product coverage, pre-deal and what-if capability, and support for netting and collateral agreements.
The Razor Base Architecture and Razor Credit Risk modules are pre-requisites for the Razor Advanced Credit Risk module.
