The solution

Data-driven analytics are key to capital markets traders’ success. RVFI uses data analysis to drive trade idea generation by calculating large numbers of relative value measures for all securities in real time and provides users with a flexible interface so that they can monitor and identify opportunities in the market.

RiskVal’s competitive advantage comes from its partnership of over 20 years with traders and portfolio managers who continually discuss with the firm the latest challenges facing fixed-income markets. RiskVal delivers these solutions with weekly enhancements to the software and has been doing so since the inception of RVFI in 2001. 

Recent milestones

As market volatility remains high and interest rates continue to rise, RVFI has made a number of enhancements to allow traders to navigate the market around bond future delivery scenarios, central bank rates, and volatility products. With the cessation of Libor now finalized, widespread changes that were prepared over the last year have been implemented within RVFI.
