Who We Are

We are a dedicated team of professionals with backgrounds in mathematical modeling, valuation system implementation (design, development, and deployment), training, proprietary trading support, and spreadsheet consulting services - all focused on over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives, illiquid securities, and related structured products. We work with small, medium, and large buy-side and sell-side banks, asset managers, hedge funds, fund administrators, custodians, treasuries, and government agencies.

What We Do

We deliver independent derivative valuation reports utilizing industry standard models, methods, and market data. Reports can be produced in a variety of formats on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, one-off, or ad-hoc basis. Our methodology utilizes leading analytics vendors combined with market data from leading inter-dealer brokers and data aggregators. For instruments with demonstrably liquid markets, we focus on mark-to-market valuation. For illiquid and hard-to-value instruments, we offer mark-to-model valuation based on careful calibration. Our independent derivative valuation services are also referred to as derivative evaluation or revaluation services.

Our Clients

We work for clients who hold historical and on-the-run trades in a wide variety of asset classes - from a handful to thousands of positions. Our target market is users of derivatives within banks, asset management firms, hedge funds, fund administrators, custodians, treasuries, and government agencies. Further, we enable our clients to:

  • Outsource their valuation function.
  • Add an independent secondary or tertiary derivative valuation source.
  • Improve their current derivative valuation process.
  • Provide a value-add service to their clients by partnering with OTC Val.
