Take Our Advice

Razor Risk provides advisory services around Risk Management. Firms sometimes need to consider a path from their existing systems to a future platform taking into account data aggregation, xVA metrics, business management, artificial intelligence, machine learning and business optimisation.

We also have experience of creating central clearing houses including data requirements, margin calculations such as the default fund or initial margin, stress testing and regulatory default stress scenarios. Increasingly understanding the large data sets within risk systems can benefit from analysis using AI techniques to find trends and correlations between risk factors, to help make strategic business decisions.
