SimCorp, which provides investment management software and services, has released a new white paper called Credit Risk Exposure: Leveraging Dodd-Frank as a Catalyst for Change.

The report examines credit risk exposures and how buy-side firms can make use of the Dodd-Frank legislation to measure their readiness for credit risk reforms and implement comprehensive risk management.

“While Dodd-Frank is a good start for credit reforms, definitions are limited and overlook the potential default of the issuers of the derivatives’ underlying assets, which can have a significant impact on a firm’s exposure,” said Else Braathen, author of the white paper and head of the risk management unit at SimCorp.
