Spreadsheet Replacement Use Cases
Loan to Value (LTV) Calculation
- The Challenge: The computation of LTV against pledged securities entails complex measures of VaR, volatility, liquidity and other types of risks. Using spreadsheets, a top-tier bank found its LTV calculation process extremely time consuming which meant the bank could not monitor its commitments at scale.
- Syncova Solution: Syncova has enabled the bank to automate its LTV calculations, incorporating a variety of market data, with the flexibility to override or add constraints on the fly. Operators can monitor LTVs down to the security level daily, and raise flags where thresholds have been crossed.
- Results: The bank has been able to scale its business while reducing the time and cost associated with producing allowed loan amounts.
Commercial Line of Credit
- The Challenge: A major bank offers a margined line of credit to its commercial clients. Terms are largely based on periodic financial statements, including accounts receivable and payable, assets and liabilities, and working capital. The bank had a large team performing term calculations entirely manually.
- Syncova Solution: With Syncova, the bank now has the flexibility and integration capabilities to aggregate financial statements regularly, combined with the computational power to calculate ratios and tests required to determine lines of credit. A rich reporting and monitoring layer helps fulfill information requirements across multiple business units and functions.
- Results: The bank has reduced its servicing costs for clients who utilize this product. It is able to calculate client margin values and financial ratios with consistent accuracy.
Trade Finance
- The Challenge: An alternative fund provides structured trade finance loans to Latin American companies. The fund uses various structures to collateralize loans, with collateral ranging from letters of credit to shipped goods and inventory. Spreadsheets required to generate comprehensive reporting were time consuming and error prone
- Syncova Solution: Syncova enables the firm to automate the tracking and reporting of collateral to reduce any risk of overexposure. It also allows users to establish collateral rules to report on ratios specific to each loan and its unique tolerance setting
- Results: The lender has reduced its operational costs and business risk by automating calculations, monitoring and reporting—paving the way for additional business growth
