Technical Services

Datalysis technical services are tools built by Datalysis to solve repetitive or computationally complex problems faced by our clients. These tools can be used by us as part of a consulting engagement (such as responding to the APRA RFI for CPS226) or accessed directly by the client. We can also undertake custom development for clients.

All our tools are built in AWS using industry best practice data security and user access controls.

Hypothetical PL vs SIMM PL

ISDA SIMM Performance for Portfolio

Datalysis' SIMM Performance Analysis Tool (S-PAT) provides an analysis of the performance of ISDA SIMM against real PL across differing market conditions for a given portfolio. It helps identify those market conditions where IM shortfalls are likely to occur. 

S-PAT can drill down to individual instrument to identify market conditions where convexity, term-structure, translation exposure etc cause ISDA SIMM to poorly estimate real PL.

S-PAT assists phase 6 organisations to:

  • Respond to section C of APRA RFI
  • Understand the behaviour of new derivative product prior to their introduction
  • Identify weakness in ISDA SIMM for quarterly or annual  portfolio reviews
GRID IM by Counterparty and Portfolio

Initial Margin using GRID

The Datalysis GRID engine allows clients to upload their derivative portfolio and determine their initial margin per netting set (counterparty) and in total under the GRID methodology.  JP Morgan and CFTC trade file formats are supported but any format containing the appropriate information will do.

The Datalysis GRID engine also includes trade level netting which may benefit some clients.
