Understand a structure before you commit to it
RiskCore analyses one hedging structure at a time, whether a quote under consideration or a position already held: how its effective rate behaves across outcomes at expiry, how it compares with a forward and with leaving the exposure open, and how likely the market is to reach the levels that matter.
What could this structure do, and how likely is it?
An option or structured hedge is usually presented by its best case and its protected rate. The outcomes in between, the probability of each, and the conditions under which a barrier or leverage changes the result are what a treasury committee needs to see.
HedgeCore asks which structure suits an exposure. RiskCore examines how one structure behaves. Any HedgeCore result opens directly in RiskCore, and clients can analyse their own quotes and structures they design.
Scope. RiskCore analyses one structure at one expiry. Risk across all positions, including stress tests, sits in portfolio and MTM reporting. Barrier structures are shown on their outcome at expiry, with a note on screen where a barrier can be triggered earlier.
The full range of outcomes, not only the protected rate
Effective rate and payoff
The rate achieved at expiry across the range of exchange rates, against a forward and against an unhedged position.
Outcome distribution
Outcomes weighted by probability, with expected value, probability of profit, and the 5th, median and 95th percentile results.
Touch probabilities
The probability of the rate trading through a level you choose before expiry, for barrier and trigger structures.
Scenario inputs
Override spot, volatility, days to expiry or forward points to see how the result moves.
Payoff surface
A 3D view of value across exchange rate and time to expiry.
Risk reports
A PDF report, including a spot ladder, for review, approval and the decision file.
Approvals based on the whole picture
When a structure goes to a CFO or a committee, RiskCore shows what it does in a strong market and a weak one, what it gives up against a forward, and where a barrier or leverage changes the result.
Costs made explicit
The cost of protection and the participation given up are shown against the same distribution of outcomes.
Barrier risk in numbers
The probability of reaching a trigger level is stated, rather than described as unlikely.
A record for later
The PDF report documents what was known about the structure when it was approved.
