Introduction
RiskVal Financial Solutions, LLC
RiskVal was established in 2001 by the founder and CEO, Jordan Hu. He was determined to bring together talents from Wall Street and academia to create a Front Office platform that was not only powerful but flexible enough to evolve with the Market in real-time. This has become the core philosophy for RiskVal in our journey to become the #1 Front Office solution for the Fixed Income Markets.
Cutting Edge Technology
RiskVal has been an industry leader when dealing with Technology. As a Java shop, we were determined to break barriers and create a solution that was not only user friendly, but visually appealing as well. We are continuously evolving with the changes in the technology world and are committed to keep RiskVal fresh and relevant.
Top Class Service
Real-time service is something that we take to heart. When choosing RiskVal, you not only get the solution, but our World Renowned customer service. We utilize any and all tools to ensure that our clients are taken care of as quickly and efficiently as possible. With offices in multiple time zones, we are able to offer this service throughout all trading hours.
Ahead of the Curve
We take pride in our roots and connections to the Market. Our daily interaction with traders and market players has given us the ability to literally be there when trading ideas are created. RiskVal is then able to quickly develop these ideas into a functional interface and bring them to market for our clients before they are even known to the Street.
What is RiskVal?
RiskVal is a Fixed Income Suite based on the concept of Software as a Service. We created a solution with the intent to deliver powerful functionality in a user friendly interface, while providing a quick and hassle-free installation. This was possible by utilizing a revolutionary method in which heavy processes are kept on a server side component, allowing the client - which resides natively on the end user's PC - to free up resources and offer and smooth and seamless experience.
Why RiskVal?
RiskVal was created to be the “Cadillac” of the Fixed Income Analytics world. Our 2+ model, which was constructed by Jordan Hu and the brightest minds at the Salmon Brothers Arbitrage desk during the 90’s, is unsurpassed and revered by all of our end users. While relative value is our specialty, we also offer industry standard analytics, including ASW’s, OIS Spreads and TED’s etc. Our goal was to create a tool that encompassed all relevant information that a Fixed Income user would need into a centralized and user friendly application with over 200+ trading strategies to analyze.
RiskVal is Connected
If you have access to Market Data, we can most likely consume it. Our simplistic API’s allow us to integrate with most Market Data providers, most notably Bloomberg, Btec, eSpeed and TradeWeb while staying flexible enough to continue to integrate with internal systems and new providers as they emerge.
Straight Through
RiskVal realized that having a great Front Office system is just not enough. We were determined to offer Straight Through Processing and fostered relationships with back office industry leaders such as Bloomberg and Calypso. As our STP solutions have grown over the years to meet the demands for complex systems, we have earned the recognition to be an integral part of our clients systems, and not just a bridge-solution.
Make RiskVal Yours
RiskVal’s years of experience has given us a reputation of excellence with both Buy-side and Sell-side clients who are looking for something to meet their specific needs. We are regularly approached with requests for customized solutions that will never be seen outside of the client’s infrastructure. This mutual trust has been a cornerstone in our business model and will always be a top priority for us.
