REAL-TIME RISK & COMPLIANCE ENGINE
RRC is the comprehensive technology solution that provides CROs, CIOs, CCOs, and PMs working in the fastest-moving markets with a single, real-time tool to investigate, identify, correct and manage risk, trade-by-trade and tick-by-tick.
Powered by Imagine’s processing power, RRC combines a real-time risk engine with a managed data service to significantly lower the cost of monitoring client risk and complying with internal and external regulations.
THRESHOLDS & ALERTS
Users have the ability to create finely-tuned thresholds on any metric within the system. The thresholds can filter specific clients, strategies, accounts, or across the firm.
Examples include VaR/NAV, liquidity, market value, or
absolute Gamma/market value for volatility-specific
strategies. Thresholds can be visible to a single user or
to a defined audience and, once triggered, can send an
email to a specific user or group.
RRC’s alerts provide streaming real-time notifications for any
triggered threshold. Users can quickly drill into an alert to see all
pertinent information and actionable details. Setting an alert’s
ownership and status enables any breach to be quickly monitored
and resolved. RRC also provides dynamic and real-time filtering
and sorting functionality, which makes complex alert lifecycles
easier to manage and control.
w Track exposures relative to internal and external regulatory
limits.
w Set limits for user-defined analytics across multiple levels of
aggregation.
w Extract any data – static or derived.
w Perform pre-trade risk compliance checks based on
liquidity, factor exposures or any user-defined formula.
SCALABILITY & SPEED
ANALYTICS & STRESS TESTING
RRC is used by the world’s leading financial service firms because it performs risk calculations on thousands of trades per second across millions of positions – and it is fully scalable.
RRC covers all asset classes and integrates with legacy
systems – effectively sitting on top of a firm’s own technology
system – and it comes packaged with all the real-time data required
to manage risk and deliver all desired levels of transparency.
RRC delivers:
w Streaming real-time summaries of trades, alerts and
operational data.
w Key metrics, such as VaR/NAV, best/worst P&L/NAV
or totals, across the firm.
w Additional granularity, including intra-day P&L, VaR graph,
profile information, sector and asset concentrations, and
stress test ladders.
w Full access to positions, pricing inputs, analytics, and
associated attributes.
In addition to hundreds of standard columns ranging from P&L decomposition to issuer classifications, Imagine provides a flexible analytic framework for monitoring risk and exposures.
w A wide range of exposures can be derived and calculated, for
example, Greeks, P&L and limits, as well as user-defined metrics.
w Users can stress test more than 50 historical scenarios, such as
Brexit, Enron, Flash Crash, and the 2008 financial crisis.
w Imagine’s stress testing functionality can shock more than
17 valuation parameters simultaneously.
w Users can calculate historical, parametric and Monte Carlo VaR
or both; historical VaR is calculated for each day over a
user-specified time interval.
w Both methodologies provide clients with full control over the
inputs and assumptions, and multiple scenarios can be
calculated in parallel (e.g. 95% vs 99%).

Imagine’s flexible technology, coupled with our real-time data and analytics, enables us to compute and report portfolio margin.
The Imagine Margin Engine calculates portfolio margin using
various exchange rules, Portfolio Margin, or even a prime broker’s
house rules – allowing firms to better control and deploy capital.
The Margin Engine conducts a complete operational workflow
that incorporates Imagine’s trading system, data and library
of margin calculators. The functionality is integrated directly
into the Imagine platform, allowing calculations to be invoked
programmatically.
Clients can simultaneously perform bespoke stress tests, for
example, “what will my margin be if a particular market event
occurs?” Users also have complete visibility into the calculations,
as well as the ability to change or add to them.
w Plug-and-play style rule updates create efficient workflow
administration.
w Custom reporting supports transparency needs.
w Scales for growth with Imagine’s powerful risk and portfolio
management engine.
With trading frequencies nearing a continuum and regulatory
demands becoming increasingly taxing, Imagine’s RRC solution
enables firms to better conduct high-volume business. With the
ability to add their own models and what-if stress tests to our
platform for proprietary needs, firms can respond to regulatory
preferences for external model-based solutions.
