Quantifi announced that it has been selected by Mizuho Americas, a part of the Japan-based Mizuho Financial Group, to support its expanding equity derivatives platform. Quantifi is a provider of risk, analytics and trading solutions, and is expected to complement Mizuho America’s existing internal process, providing additional pricing models to further validate its internal models.
Mizuho Americas markets its US equity derivatives capabilities to US corporates, providing solutions including accelerated share repurchases, collars, convertible call spreads, and equity forwards. The firm was looking for an independent pricing and structuring solution to supplement risk measurement on its derivative positions and price structured equity notes.
Quantifi was selected for the depth of its equity analytics and flexibility of its technology. With Quantifi, Mizuho Americas has enhanced its access to fast, accurate pricing and analytics that have been seamlessly integrated with its other internal processes. By selecting Quantifi, Mizuho Americas has saved on development time and resource and can focus on its core business.
“We are delighted to be providing Mizuho Americas, one of the premier investment banks, with technology and support for its equity derivatives business. We look forward to partnering with Mizuho Americas to help it expand its equity offering“, said Rohan Douglas, CEO at Quantifi, in a statement.
