History
[edit | edit source]Numerix was founded in 1996 by Alexander Sokol, Nigel Goldenfeld, Mitchell Feigenbaum and Michael Goodkin as a software company selling multi-asset class pricing tool kits. Numerix CrossAsset remains as one of the industry's most comprehensive collection of models offering full portfolio coverage and broad instrument support for fixed income/rates, equity, FX, credit, commodities, inflation, longevity, volatility and hybrids.[7]
Numerix CrossAsset is used to price financial derivatives and calculate risk analytics – ranging from credit risk, market risk, stress testing, back testing, scenario generation and risk reporting.[8]
After making a significant investment in the company, Greg Whitten invested an additional US$32 million in 2001.
Numerix continued to grow and build out its front office XVA adjustments for pre-trade pricing, as well as counterparty credit risk exposures and market risk measures. In 2016, it introduced Oneview, its flagship risk management software,[9] which is a real-time, front and middle office platform with a microservices' architecture, designed for pre-trade pricing, post-trade valuations, XVAs, counterparty risk, market risk, margin and capital calculations.[10]
Emanuele Conti, who has held CEO and executive leaderships roles at Opus Global, Kroll, and Dun & Bradstreet, was appointed CEO in May 2023.[11] Emanuele proceeds Steven O'Hanlon, who had been Numerix's CEO since January 2013. O'Hanlon had been COO from 2004 to 2013 and is now the Vice Chairman for Numerix.
