Six Reasons Firms Choose Vega
Real-Time API Integration
We connect to your IBOR/ABOR via API—no batch files, no overnight processing. Your risk analytics use current positions and current prices, not yesterday's data.
- Run ad-hoc calculations on demand
- Answer client questions in real-time
- No batch files to manage or monitor
| Traditional | Vega | |
|---|---|---|
| Data timing | T+1 (overnight batch) | Real-time |
| Integration | File export/import | API query |
| Ad-hoc analysis | ✗ Wait for next batch | ✓ On demand |
| What-if testing | ✗ Manual/offline | ✓ Real-time |
Same Data = No Reconciliation
We query your data source directly—we don't create a separate copy. The prices used for risk are the same prices used for performance and accounting.
- Eliminate daily reconciliation overhead
- Guaranteed consistency across analytics
- Redeploy ops staff from validation to analysis
"Our approach eliminates the 2-3 hours firms typically spend daily reconciling risk vs. accounting data. The numbers match because they come from the same place."— The Vega Philosophy
Model Transparency
Many risk systems are black boxes—you get numbers but can't see how they're calculated. Vega is different. Every calculation is traceable and explainable.
- Full visibility into instrument modeling
- Drill down from portfolio to security level
- Documented methodology for auditors
- Custom model support when needed
Battle-Tested Platform
This isn't a new solution or a science project. We're deployed at scale with global financial institutions, processing risk for multi-asset portfolios daily through every market condition.
- Battle-tested through COVID volatility
- Proven through rapid rate environment shifts
- Edge cases identified and handled
- You're not the guinea pig
