FINCAD Is The Future of Financial Analytics

Published on 04 Jan 2012

Company name: FinancialCAD® Corporation

FINCAD was founded in 1990, while attempting to raise personal investment money from corporate executives for a successful options arbitrage investment program, Robert Park and his FINCAD co-founder discovered a real imbalance in derivatives knowledge and capabilities between the sell-side and the buy-side. By the end of the 1980’s there were regular and frequent reports of major non-financial companies taking large earnings statement hits that resulted from them taking on derivatives-related risks they didn’t understand. FINCAD’s first marketing piece was a simple one page sheet titled “Derivatives Fiascos” that listed the names of those companies and the amounts of their losses. As derivatives markets have been becoming more complicated, FINCAD continuously extended and refined its financial analytics tools.

At present time, with more than 4,000 clients in over 80 countries around the world, FINCAD is the leading provider of financial analytics technology, enabling global market participants to make informed hedging and investment decisions.

FINCAD provides software and services supporting the valuation, reporting and risk management of derivatives and fixed income portfolios to corporate treasuries, banks, audit firms, hedge funds, asset management firms, and governments. FINCAD Analytics can be accessed as a Software-as-a-Service, through Excel, MATLAB, or embedded into an existing system through software development kits. Now, over 70 FINCAD Alliance Partners embed FINCAD Analytics within their solutions. FINCAD provides sales and client services from Dublin, Ireland, and Vancouver, Canada.
