Ambit Capital Management
Banks now face incredible pressure to ensure that they not only meet, but in many cases exceed complex regulatory compliance requirements. In addition to these regulations, banks are experiencing increased demand for economic capital and the need to optimize overall profitability.
As a result, chief risk officers and managers now find themselves under a microscope as regulators, board members and customers want more transparency into what a bank is doing to ensure that not only are regulations met, but that the bank develops a customized risk mitigation strategy that is aligned with its business goals. To do this, a bank must first determine what their risk appetite is and then employ risk sensitive approaches for managing regulatory and economic capital in addition to fully understanding their credit risk.

SunGard’s Ambit Capital Management solution provides out of the box compliance and reporting for local rules with an integrated user interface for stress testing against several industry-standard economic capital models.
