Client Overview
A leading global financial institution with substantial exposure across multiple currency markets sought to enhance its risk management capabilities. With increasing market volatility and mounting regulatory scrutiny, the institution needed a more agile, data-driven approach to forecasting and mitigating currency risk—without disrupting its existing infrastructure.
Problem Statement
The firm’s risk modeling process was built on outdated systems that failed to keep pace with real-time market developments. Key challenges included:
- Inconsistent Risk Forecasts: Static models produced unreliable outputs, undermining the accuracy of hedging decisions.
- Delayed Market Response: Slow integration of market movements led to reactive rather than proactive risk strategies.
- Limited Exposure Visibility: The absence of portfolio-level insights hindered holistic currency risk evaluation across geographies and business units.
These limitations not only increased capital exposure but also elevated operational and compliance risks in fast-moving currency markets.
