Front Arena Quant Integration & Risk Reporting

In the trading environment there was a requirement to integrate complex valuation and risk models for structured products in a performant and consistent way into Front Arena. A separate quant cluster provided prices, Greeks and scenarios but was not fully embedded in the existing system landscape. At the same time, regulatory requirements (including FRTB) and the need for transparent PnL decomposition and sensitivity analyses grew. Front Arena upgrades also had to be validated without affecting live trading.

For the business, precise valuations, stable risk figures and performant reporting processes were the focus. Clean integration of the quant cluster service layer reduces valuation inconsistencies and improves the quality of risk and trading reports. High-performance interfacing enables faster price and sensitivity calculations – a direct benefit for quoting, limit steering and regulatory capital calculation. The business case lies in higher transparency, lower model risks and more efficient steering.

Integration offered the chance to harmonise valuation and risk logic end-to-end and remove performance bottlenecks. Challenges included developing a stable, high-performance ADFL interface, checking consistency of prices and Greeks and validating Front Arena upgrades. Risk reports (FRTB, PnL decomposition, sensitivities) also had to be implemented in a regulatorily correct and technically robust way.

The quant cluster service layer was integrated seamlessly into Front Arena, including high-performance ADFL interfacing for structured products. Prices, Greeks and scenarios were integrated consistently and made available for risk and trading reports. Reporting solutions for FRTB, PnL decomposition and sensitivities were implemented and validated. Upgrades were secured by detailed valuation analyses and regression tests. The result is a performant, integrated valuation and reporting landscape.

We were responsible for technical integration (Python, ACM, ADFL, ASQL), supported Front Arena upgrades and ensured consistency and performance. We also supported trading and mid office in operational support – from quoting to lifecycle management. Our value lay in combining quant understanding, Front Arena expertise and regulatory reporting capability.

If you want to integrate your valuation and risk logic more performantly and embed regulatory reporting stably, we support you with business depth and technical precision – from architecture to production.
