Intellect Design Arena Ltd, a specialist in applying true Digital Technologies across Banking, Capital Markets & Insurance, announced the launch of CALM 20 (Contextual ALM 2020), a contextual ALM platform that enables financial institutions to have a holistic view of balance sheet, monitor and manage liquidity risk and interest rate risk, perform stress testing and ensures regulatory compliance through liquidity monitoring tools.

Asset Liability Management (ALM) plays a critical role in weaving together the different business lines in a financial institution. Managing liquidity and balance sheet are crucial for the existence of a financial institution and sustenance of its operations.

Built on the robust principles of Design Thinking at the R&D Innovation Lab at Intellect, CALM 20 value chain is a powerful combination of

  • Coherent Data Fabric for seamless data aggregation
  • 6 Balance Sheet Risk Algorithms providing integrated risk impact
  • Advanced Analytics for informed decision making

The foundation of a strong ALM solution ensures efficiency of data aggregation, which is obtained from multiple source systems. Coherent Data Fabric -Intellect’s enterprise integration framework is a low coding platform which simplifies and standardizes the bank’s interfaces with external and internal entities, making it extensible and future proof.

Intellect CALM 20 has an intuitive UI to define risk appetite of the financial institutions. It covers Behavioral Quantification, Stress Test (Sensitivity/Scenario based), and Risk Algorithms including static, dynamic and interest rate sensitive gap, market and economic value, duration, NII, liquidity risk, leverage, capital adequacy, leverage, funding and market risk. A library of 6 correlated Risk Algorithms, viz Capital Adequacy, Liquidity Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Funding, Leverage and Market Risk provide an integrated risk impact.

Interactive dashboards enable decision-makers assess the impact of changes in balance sheet values as well as examine the impact of strategic decisions on the numbers. Dynamic visualizations help banks explore large portfolios, drill down to granular results and create customized dashboards. CALM 20 provides the users with ready tools to evaluate the impact of changing business strategy, market rates and customer behaviour.
