Fundamental Review of the Trading Book, or FRTB, was introduced following the 2008 global financial crisis as a boundary between the trading book and the banking book. This shifts risk measurement from value at risk to a wider view of market liquidity risk, requiring banks to calculate more complex and risk-sensitive models than in the past.
As banks develop their processes and systems in preparation for the looming FRTB start date, they need to consider the cost and administrative burden of developing tools in-house. Adding to the complexity, individual jurisdictions are responsible for transposing the non-binding international agreement into law. This means that banks with international operations need a solution that supports their compliance needs across multiple jurisdictions.
Choosing a solution with Cloud capabilities reduces costs and time to value, freeing up resources by outsourcing both hardware as well as technical and functional expertise.
