Case Study: Masfin achieves fast, budget-friendly integrated risk management with FINCAD

Delivering Integrated Risk Management Solutions Fast with a Limited Budget

Masfin Consulting, Inc. (Masfin) was engaged by the New York branch of a large German bank to deliver an enterprise-wide risk management system under tight regulatory timelines and a limited budget. The bank faced siloed transactions and position data across Opics, FISTs, Murex, Kondor+, Devon and ADP, and needed consolidated positions, cash‑flow projections, scenario analysis and Greeks; Masfin selected FINCAD’s analytics (FINCAD Developer and the FINCAD XL add‑in) to supply industry‑standard models and ease integration.

Masfin used its RisQ-Tools to build a normalized Risk data‑mart, integrated market feeds (Reuters/Bloomberg), and wired FINCAD Developer into analytic engines for cash‑flows, scenario analysis and sensitivities; an OLAP viewer and reporting layer delivered on‑demand reports and downstream feeds. With FINCAD analytics embedded, first integrated reports were available in three weeks and full system integration was completed in six months — on time and under budget — enabling the branch to meet the Global Risk Committee and SEC/federal requirements, produce multi‑function reports, and feed the bank’s core systems.
