To meet the challenging goal of capturing, managing and using market data, Calypso employs a market data management architecture termed the ‘Pricing Framework’. The Pricing Framework is essentially a set of functions and applications that include among other elements: (a) Pricers/Pricing Models – used to compute pricing measures (e.g. ‘NPV’, ‘Accrual’),(b) Pricing Environments – collections of market data and pricing controls used by pricers, (c) Pricing Parameters – user settings that control how pricers compute pricing measures, Curve/Surface Generation Algorithms – generate curves and surfaces, (d) Feed Configurations – connections to external market quote feeds (e) Market Data Server-generation and delivery of real-time data on user controlled schedules (f) Market Data Manager for seeing market updates in real-time. Calypso’s highly configurable platform enables you to adapt any component of the Pricing Framework to meet the needs of your institution.
