TOKYO – 25 JANUARY 2010 – Numerical Technologies, a leading provider of financial risk management software, announced today the release of PortfolioBrowser® version 1.9.0. PortfolioBrowser® is a risk management system that calculates integrated VaR and the correlation effect among market risk and credit risk factors.

PortfolioBrowser® 1.9.0 allows clients to:

  • Use fat-tail probability distribution when calculation VaR using the Monte Carlo and variance-covariance methods
  • Observe non-normal probability characteristic parameters from time series of risk factors
  • Generate Johnson SU or Pareto-Gaussian mixed-distribution-based scenarios, and simulate more realistic fat-tail effects
Johnson SUs
A Johnson SU distribution offers a wide range of skewness and kurtosis that makes it ideal for approximating fat-tailed distributions.
