The FRTB rules, which are now set to go live across all affected regions in January 2023, will permanently alter the investment banking industry’s management of the macroeconomic market risks associated with the treatment of regulatory capital risk.
In this regard, GreySpark believes that it is necessary to classify the family of solutions specialised in providing banks with FRTB compliance toolkits as RegTech offerings because they are designed to serve risk management operators whose roles often span both front- and middle-office functions and reporting as well as, occasionally, back-office responsibilities.
The FRTB compliance solutions offerings represented in this report provide investment banking institutions and other types of risk-taking, sellside firms with three forms of engineered reach as an expression of each vendor company’s specific approach to best practice in the fulfilment of the regulation’s mandates. Specifically:
- data management capabilities;
- risk management capabilities; and
- reporting capabilities.
