FINCAD Celebrates the Latest Release of its Award-Winning Enterprise Analytics Platform F3

Nov. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Vancouver, Dublin – November 8, 2011

In a study done by FINCAD, 24% to 40% of the work done by quants in trading operations is maintenance-related, rather than revenue related. An Enterprise Analytics Platform is an efficient way of reducing their workload while providing on-demand risk information.
In response to this, FINCAD, the leading provider of financial analytics, is celebrating its 21st birthday and the launch of F3 2.1, the latest release of the award-winning enterprise analytics platform. F3 is the newest, most innovative product offering from FINCAD. Its enhanced patent-pending risk functionality and flexible framework give users the ability to price virtually any trade.

To celebrate this important milestone, FINCAD is hosting a release party where industry practitioners will have an opportunity to view F3’s patent pending Universal Risk Technology® firsthand. The evening will include demonstrations of Counterparty Credit Risk, including CVA pricing and hedging, PandL Attribution, and FINCAD’s Generic Trade Representation.

“FINCAD’s launch celebration is an ideal opportunity for key industry participants to visualize our enterprise analytics platform in person,” said Bob Park, President and CEO at FINCAD. “Its innovative technology like this that is changing the way finance professionals view risk, so it’s important that they have a chance to see it firsthand.”
The celebration takes place in London on November 9th, at 10-11 Carlton House Terrace, and in Chicago on November 16th, at The Westin Chicago River North.
