IBM ILOG Optimization products have bolstered decision making in the banking and finance industry for many years. Continuous improvements in computational algorithms and hardware make IBM optimization tools more powerful than ever. Rapidly build and solve the complex optimization models that address the critical issues faced in today’s rapidly evolving financial markets.
Challenges facing the banking and finance industries today
- Risk management: Balance expected returns and correlations of market risk among assets, accounting for investor preferences, sectoral risks, transaction costs and timing.
- Operational cost: Implement profitable portfolio trading strategies, control transaction costs, take advantage of discounts by grouping trades across multiple portfolios, avoid the cost of going to the market by executing internal trades within the same organization, manage large numbers of trades automatically.
- Product innovation: Avoid commoditization by creating new products and services for customers.
Make better decisions faster
IBM ILOG Optimization software can automate and optimize decisions for front, mid- and back-office processes. Decision automation cuts costs, generates better outcomes and accelerates speed to market, enabling dynamic response to frequent change—what used to take months can be implemented in minutes or days.
- Portfolio Optimization - Determine asset allocation to minimize risk to achieve a given level of return while accommodating constraints such as allowable sectoral exposure.
- Asset-Liability Management - Select and manage asset holdings to minimize cost to achieve lifetime financial goals under alternative scenarios of future financial market performance.
- Loan Configuration and Lending - Make offers to borrowers that maximize likelihood of acceptance while achieving target returns for individual loans and portfolios.
Benefits of IBM ILOG Optimization
Better Decisions
IBM optimization tools find non-obvious solutions, maximizing value and minimizing costs while observing the many complex requirements and limitations of modern banking and finance operations. IBM ILOG Optimization shifts the cost-performance frontier for your system, providing better performance for less. And IBM ILOG Optimization produces quantifiable benefits to your bottom line—often with payback in less than a year.
Faster Decisions
Automating decision processes decreases response time—necessary in today’s accelerating markets—and allows portfolio managers and traders to focus on critical complexities rather than on routine issues.
Faster, Lower Cost Development and Maintenance
The high-level modeling tools in the IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio and ODM Enterprise help quantitative analysts code and validate models with less time and effort than traditional programming languages, and by increasing the transparency of the model, it makes maintaining and upgrading the systems easier and more reliable.
Quickly Turn Information Into Action
IBM ILOG Optimization leverages your investments in enterprise information technology.
