Risk & Regulatory
The essential foundation for risk management and regulatory compliance is transparent and centralised access to high quality data and analytics. This requirement is only going to become more demanding as both trading (algorithmic trading/credit derivatives/structured products) and regulation (MiFID/RegNMS/UCITS III) drive increased data volumes and complexity. TimeScape has been designed to cope with these changes, combining high performance database technology for real-time and historic analysis, a future-proof data model for dealing with the most complex of asset-classes, powerful data validation framework and the ease of use risk managers require.
