BENEFITS

The complexity of building, understanding, and applying the right models calibrated to the right data is minimized with using OTC Val as a truly independent primary, secondary, or tertiary valuation provider. OTC Val's independent valuation service can help you achieve regulatory compliance, overcome valuation challenges, and improve investor perception by:

Reducing Operational Risk

Pricing derivatives without the right combination and application of models, methods, and market data is akin to rolling the dice. OTC Val's solution combines multiple analytics and market data sources, industry professionals, and the latest technology to help organizations reduce operational risks associated with getting the numbers right.

Achieving Valuation Transparency

With increasing regulations and auditor requirements, it's no longer adequate to just get a report with prices. OTC Val is committed to providing transparent documentation outlining the methods, models, and market data used in the valuation process.

Dealing with One Service Provider

With the introduction of more complex OTC derivatives and a lack of analytical coverage, the ever-changing OTC derivatives landscape has exposed organizations to the operational risk and complexities of dealing with multiple valuation service or analytics and data vendors. OTC Val can reduce this risk for an organization by delivering one comprehensive portfolio report obtained through its use of leading analytics and market data sources.  

Assisting with Regulatory Compliance

OTC Valuations can ensure the pricing of your derivatives portfolio is accurate, complete, timely, and independent, assisting with SOX 302 and 404 requirements, and the current and future direction of FAS 133 / 149, 157, and 159, IAS 39, IFRS 7, AIMA's Guide to Sound Practices for Hedge Fund Valuation, and the IOSCO's forthcoming Report on Principles for the Valuation of Hedge Fund Portfolios.
