    We are excited to share our latest newsletter with you. In this edition, we cover our digital asset infrastructure upgrades aimed to empower your team, from portfolio management to back-office operations.

    Enhanced option pricing and risk management tools

    We at Haruko have made significant enhancements to boost your portfolio and risk management capabilities for derivatives. The latest release includes a comprehensive increase in coverage for risk metrics.

    For option books in addition to premium, delta, gamma and vega you also have weighted vegathetavanna and volga. We have introduced sticky strike and sticky delta Greeks, with adjustable parameters for delta stickiness, allowing for a customisable approach to risk assessment. In addition, the advanced pricing models now utilise a mixed stochastic local volatility (SLV) surface for precise pricing of vanilla and exotic options.

    Improved portfolio pricing and scenario analysis tools

    Further enhancing your experience, we offer customisable pricing parameters, enabling flexibility in choosing future curves, volatility surfaces and pricing times for tailored analysis. The portfolio pricing module has been updated to include mini-scenarios in spot, volatility and time, offering detailed insights for each portfolio element.

    Moreover, our market price impact scenario analysis has been redesigned to include time bumps, six output formats for various scenarios and features like stickiness scales and weighted volatility bumps.

    Aggregate risk management and general enhancements

    Our new aggregate risk management feature introduces an aggregated risk matrix for a more nuanced understanding of risk across different delta buckets. We’ve also introduced volatility surface modelling with the jump-wing parametrisation for SVI surfaces, aligning with SABR surface marking.

    Additionally, we’ve made general platform improvements for enhanced accessibility, including the reconciliation dashboard in the top-level navigation menu and added advanced audit functionality for filtering trades, transfers and balance adjustments by date.

    We hope our best-in-class institutional digital asset solutions will make it easier for your front- and back-office teams to stay on top of the all digital asset exposure and  risk, accessed in real-time and all in one place.
