The Foundation for Sound Decision Making
The Foundation for Sound Decision Making
Quantitative Risk Management (QRM) is the world’s leading risk consultancy. Since our founding in 1987, QRM’s vision has been to consistently provide financial institutions the expert advice, research, and analytics they need to maximize risk-adjusted returns. We are a trusted adviser to industry-leading organizations across the globe, with a track record of success that spans the spectrum of economic circumstances. We enable our clients to understand where they are today and, more importantly, to strategically identify the risk-adjusted opportunities of tomorrow.
With offices in Chicago, London, and Singapore, QRM advises an international client base of more than 150 financial institutions spread across six continents and operating in more than sixty countries.
Establishing the Foundation for Sound Decision Making
Sound decisions require contextual expertise, an understanding of the range of available actions, an exhaustive review of possible outcomes, and timely execution. QRM is built to ensure that our clients are well-equipped in these respects, providing them comprehensive risk practice consulting, real-time research and market data, and the models and technology necessary to synthesize a vast amount of information into simple, concrete decisions.
An Integrated Approach Requires an Integrated Partner
Through QRM’s consulting efforts, and the bilateral exchange of knowledge between us and our clients, we create a collaborative environment focused on building, sustaining, and evolving the organization’s decision support capabilities, ultimately delivering strategies that best match your risk/reward appetite.
QRM is an industry pioneer, paving the way forward through the design, development, testing, and occasionally the publication, of trading and pricing models. Our researchers also design, develop, apply, and defend customer behavior models for the financial products our clients offer, ensuring that their risk management and finance processes enable robust analysis under any market scenario. Additionally, QRM provides intraday market data snapshots to ensure that these processes are accurate and can be automated.
Management decisions need to be timely and must adapt as markets, market participants, and the industry evolve. Toward that end, QRM provides high-precision cloud technology that not only scales for speed, but also safeguards decisions with high-quality security and control while evolving, every quarter, in step with the markets and the industry. This approach uniquely facilitates collaboration, centralizes key information, and delivers a single foundation for measuring risk and calculating the best allocation of capital to realize optimal risk-adjusted returns in any market scenario.
Building Long-Term Partnerships One Step at a Time
Balance sheet management is complex, traversing multiple disciplines and functions within the organization. Managing a mortgage pipeline, while narrower in scope, has intricate complexities of its own. QRM assists clients by assessing their current state, internalizing near-term needs and long-term desires, and mapping an actionable path forward. Following this path, we partner with our clients to transform their operations into a set of cohesive, evolving best practices that foster collaboration between the experts within the organization and promote optimal balance sheet performance.
Providing Focused Expertise That Targets Specialized Industries
Decision support requires an understanding of the industry, the organization’s place in that industry, and the likely evolution of each. QRM’s experts help clients marry honed skills with industry concepts to arrive at precise, comprehensive, efficient, and timely analyses. Our services are targeted toward improving strategic decisions for a broad range of financial services companies that include commercial banks and thrifts, credit unions, building societies, mortgage lenders, REITs, asset management companies, and insurance companies.
