Financial market information systems optimise investor advice and new portfolio products

ZURICH - IS.Teledata MD Solutions will present its solutions at Zurich’s 15th Finance Forum on November 1 and 2, 2005. This year, the company will focus on intranet solutions that help banks to increase the efficiency of its sales processes and to optimise investment advice for its clients. Highlights will include the new portfolio solution and new product modules specifically for the derivatives market. IS.Slider editions “Basic“ and “Advisor“ will also be shown at stand 49.

Tracking Investment Processes

IS.Teledata MD Solutions develops financial market information systems based on its market data platform, a wide range of content and several product modules that present and analyse all asset classes. The company creates customised solutions to represent and track the sales strategies and workflows of financial service providers. Examples of such successfully deployed intranet solutions for retail banks will be demonstrated at the Finance Forum.

Portfolio solutions of IS.Teledata MD Solutions support financial advisors in retail asset management. The new product module AssetScanner supports the transaction-based analysis of investor portfolios. Portfolio positions can be analysed across all asset classes by allocation to sectors, regions, countries and currencies. Customer holdings can also be compared with sample portfolios. The new risk module allows to simulate various risk scenarios for the portfolio. Thus the clear presentation of complex portfolio contexts improves individual customer advice and strengthens customer retention.

In addition to IS.Statistics Derivatives availabile since summer 2005, the Finance Forum presents additional product modules for the derivative retail market: IS.OptionsAnalyser and IS.Derivatives ScenarioScreener. IS.Statistics Derivatives enables issuers to analyse derivative sales by several criteria day by day to refine their product strategy based on actual market evidence. IS.OptionsAnalyser is a Java application that presents exchange-traded options with different strike prices and various maturities in a matrix. Financial advisors can use it to optimise investment strategies by simulating the effect of changes in option price, underlying price and implied volatility on the option and its key figures. IS.Derivatives ScenarioScreener allows retail banks and online brokers the easy selection of certificates that match market scenarios and the investor’s risk preference, based on complex mathematical calculations.
