GLOBAL VALUATION MADE EASY

Valuation in Multiple Currencies

Challenge

Global trading organizations need more accurate portfolio exposure calculations which require data from P&L reports, margin settlements, and other accelerated market sources. Their FX team also experience challenges to hedging FX risk. To improve performance and information on exposure these organizations require more comprehensive data than what their ETRM platform could provide out of the box.

We highlight the challenges faced by a global trading house that wanted to change the methodology to calculate the portfolio exposures from one currency to another which was not offered by their current ETRM.

Real organization wide portfolio exposures were delayed.

Inaccurate Margin Settlements

Back office was inefficently calculating the Margin settlements.

Lack of real market exposure visibility

Calculating your Portfolio Exposure

The energy industry is experiencing a rapid transformation with North America, Europe and Asia evolving as an interconnected global Energy market. Commodity prices are tying major global energy participants to each other with the European and the Middle Eastern trading hubs being heavily correlated. However, as volatility is still common in the energy markets companies are now also dealing with a different set of risks.

Value Creed’s team has helped one of their global energy trading houses to overcome this challenge by understanding their current business process, analysing the implementation of their trading business in their ETRM system and then tweaking it to deliver the desired outcome.

Current and expected results

To expand, this global trading house needed more accurate portfolio exposure calculations requiring data from P&L reports, margin settlements, and accelerated market visibility. The FX team also experienced challenges to hedging FX risk. To improve performance and information on exposure, the firm needed more comprehensive data than the ETRM platform could provide out of the box.
