Services
Seventh Wave Analytics delivers a range of services: Choose from one-off quant projects, regular executive guidance, risk audit or our Virtual Quantitative Risk Management Desk, which combines all our services including regular (daily if required) risk reports for all your shipping portfolios.
The business of quantitative analysis and risk management is complex and difficult.
We deliver valuable input by:
• Understanding, guiding, and monitoring a firm's financial risk
• Providing access to extensive knowledge and experience
• Creating proprietary tools for analysing, monitoring and reporting risk
We do all the work, using our internal servers, increasing productivity whilst reducing costs.
No need for:
• New software
• New hardware
• New employees
We archive reports and, where required, can cooperate directly with auditors to minimise clients' audit effort and maximise stakeholder comfort.
Virtual Quantitative Risk Management Desk
The virtual Quantitative Risk Management desk is at the heart of 7WA's offering. Imagine being able to instantly take advantage of the experience and talent of quantitative analysts, developers and risk managers. Clients will also leverage our internal risk engines, delivering maximum risk management productivity for minimum investment.
Market Risk
Freight and commodity markets pose unique and subtle challenges in market risk. From understanding the interplay between economics and accounting to employing sophisticated volatility models, we deliver market risk management that makes sense to you, however you want to see it. Take advantage of our exposure maps, Value at Risk, Stress and Scenario models, or tell us what you want. "Visualise your exposures, understand your book from every angle."
Credit Risk
Seventh Wave builds upon your current credit risk process, ensuring quality and timely reporting of the invaluable quantitative dimension of credit risk. Not only will we streamline your use and management of credit reports, we will integrate them into a sophisticated measurement system tailored to you, enabling you to measure and monitor credit risks accurately and in a way that makes sense to you.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk management is a crucial but often overlooked element of running a successful business. One of the key values of risk management is minimising the cost of distress, and no more so than in liquidity risk management. Even the most profitable strategies require cashflow management, and Seventh Wave provides the models, forecasts to insight to ensure cashflow does not get in the way of profitability.
Executive Guidance
Studies show that excellent risk management driven from the top adds tangible value to companies . We strive to turn clients' risk management into a value creation center, a process which starts from the very top. Risk is an inevitable result of any return-generating venture, but failing to command those risks leaves value on the table at best, and even has potential to destroy value. We engage with senior management to identify key financial risks inherent in our clients' business and analyse the key risk/return profiles. After helping clients to understand and articulate their business's risk appetites, we design and implement the systems and processes necessary to mitigate, monitor and modulate key risks. By re-engaging with the risks in your business, we can help you recapture value and drive the business forward with a risk-awareness that will maximise value whatever your long-term goals.
Projects
Our virtual QRM desk is designed to take the complexity and cost out of your day-to-day quant risk management work. However we also offer bespoke solutions to any manner of problems in the sphere of quantitative/statistical analysis and financial risk management in the marine, fuel and commodity spheres. Have a look at some examples of which we have direct experience.
Sourcing and Training Quants and Risk Managers
Although we offer an entirely outsourced QRM function, you may want to maintain quantitative analysis and risk management talent in-house. As qualified and skilled professionals in the field, we know the key attributes necessary in any new hire in the field. We can advise you on key competencies, and can source, filter and train any new hires you may need, whilst providing them with mentors to lean upon in their new role.
