Risk# is a risk modeling and risk aggregation platform developed to bridge the gap between prototyping and productization.
Risk# technologies allows fast prototype development and an efficient approach to turn your prototypes into production level application.
The algorithms are programmed in C++ using extremely fast and robust routines, and are extensively tested for numerical precision.

Data Processing and Data Analysis
Risk modeling comprises extensive data processing and data analysis. Risk# enables users to perform database operations including filter, sort, join, multi-dimensional look up, group, or map to process data, and in a user-friendly way, both from implementation and maintenance perspectives. Data analysis is streamlined through extensive data plotting, fitting, bootstrapping, and other user-definable functionalities.
Capital Computation
Regulatory or economic capital can be computed and allocated using the risk modeling and risk aggregation functionalities of Risk#. Model implementation and run-time are significantly accelerated by optimized Risk# functionality and performance, enabling users to run multiple model assumptions and stress tests in near real-time.
Balance Sheet Modeling
Balance sheet models are developed by combining risk modeling with cash-flow analysis. Such models may be defined and modeled in significantly varying ways depending on internal and regulatory requirements. With Risk#, financial institutions can implement their balance sheet models, and integrate them easily with capital models.
Risk# is implemented in the latest .NET technology. Risk# leverages the power of .NET technology for both design and integration of powerful applications. It supports client server architectures that simplify the creation of enterprise applications.
Risk# allows great flexibility in object persistence, so business objects can interface with all the data sources
available. The framework provides the flexibility to optimize performance, scalability, and security without need for changes to code in the user interface or business objects.
