LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Moody’s Analytics, a leading provider of financial intelligence, announced today that its technology has been selected by Santander UK, one of the largest providers of mortgages and savings in the United Kingdom. Santander UK will be using Moody’s Analytics Portfolio Risk Analytics (“PRA”) to assist with its internal governance and investment risk categorization processes for its retail investments range.
The Moody’s Analytics PRA is a flexible cloud-based modeling projection solution that supports a broad range of investment risk scenario modeling and “what-if” analyses. Santander UK will use the PRA solution as a core element of its internal governance processes. It will provide economic modeling required to support fund risk analysis, and Value-at-Risk measures across the Santander UK retail investment proposition, encompassing a range of multi-asset funds distributed across multiple channels.
“Our decision to work with Moody’s Analytics was driven by their modeling expertise combined with intuitive and configurable software,” said Nick Kelly, Head of Technical Product Solutions at Santander UK. “Their solution provides us with independent and objective analysis as an input to our governance process – a key element in ensuring our products are appropriate for our target market and our customers’ ability and willingness to take risk.”
“Ensuring that investment products are, and remain, aligned to a customer’s capacity for loss is a crucial aspect of product governance,” said Phil Mowbray, Senior Director of Wealth and Pensions Solutions at Moody’s Analytics. “The Portfolio Risk Analytics solution supports our retail financial clients with their risk modeling needs, and produces quantitative analysis that enhances their own governance process.
