In this article, CSI speak to Rohan Douglas, CEO of Quantifi, regarding how Quantifi operates and also engage in discussions around market challenges and developments.

Q: How do you differentiate yourself from your competitors?

A: One differentiating factor is that our technology infrastructure was built from the ground up. Whereas other vendors may offer, for example, add-on scenario analysis functions, we can produce faster results because it has always been an integral part of the risk engine. Equally, our analytics library was built on a .Net platform, so performance has always been a key element of the product. Another differentiator is that we bring on board experienced people from the industry, so we better understand the nature of our clients' needs.

In this article, Rohan Douglas, the founder and CEO of Quantifi, talks about the effects of the summer’s volatility on the structured finance market, in particular how existing models have fared against the turmoil.

Q: What will be the long-term consequences of the crisis on confidence and liquidity? What kinds of institutions will have to make the biggest changes to their processes and will some of the more exotic structured finance products simply not get done any more?

Over the past 12 months, Quantifi experienced double-digit growth in new business, high client retention, and industry recognition with a number of significant awards. New business growth in 2019 continued on the momentum generated in 2018 with wins including La Française Investment Solutions, a Paris based asset manager; Ellington Management Group, an investment and advisory firm; Axiom AI, a boutique investment firm, and Tresidor, an alternative credit manager. read more

This growth was driven by major client acquisitions including a prominent global investment manager, one of the world’s leading agribusinesses, as well as expanded usage from its existing client base, including leading European banks.  Quantifi also received recognition in a number of significant industry awards.  In January, it was named Best Pricing & Analytics Product at the Risk.net Market Technology Awards, and in June received the prestigious Red Herring Top 100 North America award. read more
