These People Benefit From Deriscope

Users

There are several types of financial professionals who can benefit from Deriscope.

Traders

Successful traders often run their own custom analytics to verify 3rd party output numbers and evaluate the impact of likely market scenarios.

They benefit from Deriscope's flexible presence in Excel that allows them to design their preferred trading strategies and get the numbers they need at real time during trading.

Risk Managers

Risk Managers are less interested in precision and speed but need to evaluate trading books that often contain thousands of transactions.

They benefit from Deriscope's fast processing of very big books and the ease by which they can make adjustments for new instrument types and pricing methodologies.

Model Validators

Model Validators are mathematically oriented professionals who are suspicious of opaque processes that lack a logical explanation.

They benefit from Deriscope's wealth of mathematical models and its Lego design that allow them to build pricing spreadsheets in a fraction of the usual time.

Fund Managers

Fund managers must know the value and risk of their portfolios on a daily basis, but often need to rely on expensive third party systems that lack transparency or customization features.

They benefit from Deriscope's assistance in setting up their own local pricing procedures, which they can customize and control as they wish.

Consultants

Consultants use Excel because of its flexible handling of diverse client data.

They benefit from Deriscope's versatility that allows them to work on many different instrument types and client data formats.
