Sell-Side Risk Management Technology - Market Update 2017

<p>This report updates our industry report, <em>Sell-side Risk Management Technology 2015</em>. Since we last covered risk management technology in the sell-side, a number of regulatory and business developments have had a profound effect on the landscape, transforming the requirements sell-side firms have of their technology, and how vendors in the space are responding.</p>

<p>The sell-side landscape is complex, and ongoing developments will affect firms in different ways. However, while there is no overarching narrative describing the evolution of the sell-side, we have identified five key factors that are changing the environment for risk technology in sell-side firms:</p>

<ul>
<li>The influence and effect of the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB).</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>The intersection of a variety of regulations and standards, particularly FRTB and International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9).</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>A notable move toward supplying services and platforms for the buy-side.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>The growing importance of a variety of value adjustments (known collectively as xVA), as the need for effective capital management increases.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>The emergence and growing popularity of externalized risk systems in the sell-side.</li>
</ul>

<p>In this market update we summarize and analyze each of these trends, and how vendors are responding to them. And, as sell-side firms consider the possibility of overhauling their technology systems, we also look at how vendors in this space adapt to their clients’ increasingly complex needs.</p>
