CHALLENGE
A Global Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB) required a comprehensive, high-fidelity data foundation to support the implementation of its Internal Model Method (IMM) framework. To accurately model Counterparty Credit Risk (CCR) and optimize regulatory capital, the bank needed to transform its entire capital markets legacy contract architecture—spanning thousands of complex, bilateral legal frameworks—into actionable, structured risk data.
SOLUTION
We successfully digitized the G-SIB’s entire global capital markets contract portfolio, ensuring absolute data lineage from complex legal text to the risk engine. Our specialized implementation covered the full spectrum of trading documentation, including:
- Derivatives: ISDA Master Agreements, Credit Support Annexes (CSAs), and custom variations.
- Securities Finance & Repo: Global Master Repurchase Agreements (GMRAs) and Global Master Securities Lending Agreements (GMSLA).
- Structured Amendments: All associated side letters, netting agreements, and jurisdiction-specific addenda.
