Case Study: North American Bank achieves faster real-time fixed income analytics with SS&C Technologies

Enabling Front-Office Fixed Income Analytics through Flexible API Integration

North American Bank, a large global financial institution, needed a faster and more consistent way to price and manage complex fixed income instruments across its trading desks. The bank was dealing with disconnected pricing systems and inconsistent data formats, while also needing sub-second pricing, scenario updates, and model alignment with its enterprise Market Risk platform. To address this, North American Bank worked with SS&C Technologies, using SS&C Algorithmics RiskWatch APIs and analytics libraries.

SS&C Technologies enabled North American Bank’s front-office team to build custom real-time pricing and risk applications that used the same validated models as its market risk environment. The integrated platform connected to live market data and internal sources, supported ad hoc what-if analysis, and created a unified framework across pricing, risk, and finance. The result was up to 50% faster pricing response times, elimination of six legacy systems, improved governance and consistency, and the ability to add new products within a single day.
