3 ENTERPRISE DATA MANAGEMENT FOR RISK Ensuring that the data available to risk systems is complete, valid and fully audited for compliance is a challenge many are facing within the industry. Changing business models, enhanced volumes and increased complexity of data compound the problem. Existing systems often do not give a unified view across the business or are unable to deal with the variety or complexity of data required. To be able to aggregate risk exposures and identify concentrations quickly and accurately across business lines, or at an international level, requires a system that understands the variety and types of data being managed, and has the audit and reporting capability to make it available to the key decision-makers within the business as and when it is required. Identifiers and Cross Referencing Benchmarks, Market, Prices, Valuations and Vol Surfaces TM Terms & Conditions and Corporate Actions Pricing and Risk Analytics EDM+ provides a centralized, fully audited framework to manage risk data. Its cleansing, validation and audit functions ensure data is complete and accurate for business strategy or compliance, thereby increasing efficiency, reducing the probability of losses, enhancing strategic decision-making, and ultimately increasing profitability for the organization. Risk - IPV/VAR Systems Portfolio Systems Other Systems Accounting P&L/NAV Systems Risk Aggregation and Analysis Due to the asset class coverage, analytics and data management inherent in the system, and the comprehensive data type coverage, EDM+ enables a complete overview of risk and exposure. Centralized, cleansed and validated data ensure consistent decisions based on complete, accurate and comprehensive data sets. Validation for any asset class can be automatically cleansed and validated and exceptions remediated using out-of-the-box and extensible rules. This includes instrument, curve, surface and cube validations. Workflows can be configured to manage and control the validation of data points, including those more complex instruments where data promotion can only occur if underlying data dependencies have also been fulfilled. Enterprise Consistency Provides a centralized, audited data warehouse capable of storing all data types, however complex. Front, middle, and back-offices all use the same data, thus reducing duplication, inconsistencies and uncontrolled data silos. Complex Objects Designed to manage complex objects with a high degree of business meaning such as curves, surfaces and cubes; users can work on these as whole objects in their own right or dive into complex underlying data structures as necessary.

4 TIMESCAPE EDM+ FOR REGULATORY COMPLIANCE Regulation is driving changes in data standards and data management directly through principles like the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) and BCBS 239 on risk aggregation and reporting. Further initiatives such as Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) require a more real-time view of counterparty exposures across multiple systems and trading desks. In addition to shaping overall data architecture, regulation is adding to the data management burden with the addition of new fields by FATCA and Mifid II, inevitably producing issues of data sourcing, data costs and systems reusability. Any Type Any Asset Class TM Centralized, Validated, Audited, Transparent EDM+ can manage the regulatory overhead through its centralized, consistent and transparent approach to data capture, management and storage, along with extensive audit and reporting functionality that ensures all actions are tracked and can be annotated for future reconciliation and compliance. Regulatory Reports Controlled Costs Faster Time to Market Analytics and Decision Support Traceability traceability and transparency is ensured as all changes to data, validation rules and processes are audited, inclusive of changes to analytics and derived data. Extensive process audit makes it easy to track backwards to discover how a gold copy data value was created i.e. what raw sources were used and what rules were applied, including any manual adjustment of data. Governance Uniquely, EDM+ covers all data dependences and only promotes data to Gold when all data dependencies are fulfilled, even for complex objects. Rules can be configured by users, sandboxed for testing but only promoted using maker/checker functionality. Multiple departments and locations can be assigned different asset class access permissions, process timings and rule sets.

5 NEXT GENERATION ENTERPRISE DATA MANAGEMENT EDM+ handles every aspect of the process from data acquisition through to automated data cleansing, data validation, analysis and distribution to downstream systems. What sets EDM+ apart is its ability to handle complex as well as simple data structures and crucially that it manages analytics calculations and derived data valuations within the system. Thus, derived data and complex objects can be cleansed and validated as effectively as simpler data types. In-built connectors to third party languages and systems such as R and Matlab along with its native analytic functionality complete an unmatched feature set. No other data management solution offers the breadth, efficiency and agility of EDM+ to deal with data in its simplest form through to complex and derived data management. Any Type Any Asset Class TM Integrated Analytics DOWNSTREAM SYSTEMS Third-Party Systems/Analytics: Murex FINCAD Numerix R Python Acquisition Connectors to all major data providers, (Bloomberg, Interactive, Markit, S&P Capital IQ, Six Financial and Thomson Reuters) are included. A wide range of other connectors are available, and an open design makes it easy to add new connections as required. All modes of data capture are supported from traditional overnight batch, to intraday, real-time snap and streaming. Derived Management Derived data can be generated, managed and validated internally using extensive, built-in analytics or by integrating with third-party products such as Numerix, FINCAD, R and Python. Spreadsheet-like data and calculations can also be incorporated into the data management process. This enables automatic enrichment of derived data sets in a controlled and centralized way. Security Master Security Master covering all asset classes and data types. Captures, cleanses, validates and enriches reference, derived and historic data from all available sources; stores related business objects like curves, surfaces and cubes. Standard templates are available or new classes can be added with no programming. More complex business objects can also be added reflecting a dynamic data model capable of handling any asset class, both now and in the future. Report Management Comprehensive reports cover information such as unvalidated data, changes in validation rules and frequency of validation test failures as well as reports on system errors. has a powerful Excel Interface that enables business users to build spreadsheets using data consistent with all other systems. It also supports industry standard reporting and visualization tools such as Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services, Microsoft Power BI, Tableau BI and Microstrategy BI. Gold Copy Management Trigger gold copy creation as soon as data becomes available rather than being batched up into a single overnight process. Multiple gold copies can be managed within the system when different validation rules are required for different data sets. Distribution / Systems Integration In addition to ready-to-run-integration with standard datafeeds and analytic providers, EDM+ has connectivity to an extensive list of downstream third-party systems such as Murex, Sungard Adaptiv, Calypso, Sophis and Numerix Portfolio.

6 ARCHITECTURE AND IMPLEMENTATION EDM+ is component based and utilizes standard enterprise products such as SQL Server, SharePoint, SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). This enables it to fit into existing infrastructure, greatly simplifying the rollout process, and ensures the system can be maintained by Microsoft trained engineers already available within an organization. Deployment options include on-premise or as a cloudbased solution. The Validation Portal is a browser based thin-client, simplifying end-user installs, access and permissioning. SSIS is used extensively within the system to orchestrate the data flows and transformations that take place. One set of processes moves data within the system; another set is used for importing and exporting data and can be customized to suit the environment and feeds that reside at a client site.
