  • View different stats for any cuts of data in the RISK world.
  • Explore results generated from different mathematical models.

Enhancing PA

We enhanced PA in multiple rounds. We have introduced the Exposure tab, integrated ways to explore data of summary cards, conceptualised term-structure view and enabled point to point analysis in the application. We also released the application for analysts from different trading groups.

We have also integrated stakeholders feedback and enhanced usability over multiple iterations.
