VaRisk Market Risk is a computer program running on Microsoft Windows and on the web to analyze the market risk of money market, fixed income securities, foreign exchange, interest rate swaps, currency swaps, FX vanilla options and exotic FX options exposures. You do not need to wait for hours to calculate the VaR using Monte Carlo Simulation. To calculate VaR using grid-based Monte Carlo (with 10,000 iterations and 1,000 FX transactions), the system only takes about 13.6 seconds on a standard personal computer. This can be done thanks to the optimization performed by the system. The calculation using Delta Normal model even faster, it takes only about 0.33 seconds to complete. This software helps banks and companies investing in the financial markets analyse market risk of their exposure.
