SAN FRANCISCO-- February 26, 2021 -- Moody’s Analytics is a Category Leader in a new report from Chartis Research. “ALM Technology Systems, 2021: Market and Vendor Landscape” evaluates more than 20 vendors of asset and liability management (ALM) technology systems.

We earned the Category Leader distinction in all four of the report’s RiskTech Quadrants®:

· ALM solutions
· Funds transfer pricing (FTP) solutions
· Liquidity risk management (LRM) solutions
· Capital and balance sheet optimization solutions

The report considers the vendors’ Completeness of Offering and Market Potential, and assesses them on a range of specific capabilities. Many of the capabilities are highlighted in the report as “best-in-class” for Moody’s Analytics.

Banks across the world use our solution to analyze and optimize their balance sheets. Managing their balance sheets effectively in turn allows our customers to view risk more holistically, leading to better business decisions.

“In this moment, as uncertainty persists, banks are even more intensely focused on their balance sheets,” said Olivier Brucker, Senior Director at Moody’s Analytics. “Our customers rely on Moody’s Analytics capabilities to assess their positions and their risks. Earning the Category Leader status in all four of the areas detailed in this report reflects our complete solution for these essential functions.”

Moody’s Analytics continues investing in capabilities that enhance our customers’ balance sheet management and bridge silos between market risk and credit risk. As part of this strategy, Moody's acquired ZM Financial Systems last December. Financial institutions use ZMFS solutions—in securities and fixed-income analytics, credit-adjusted ALM, liquidity risk management, and more—to identify and monitor the risk and value in their balance sheets. Those capabilities contributed to Moody’s Analytics results in this report.
