IM Risk Generator has the capability to decompose index-based trades allowing them to be represented as sensitivities to the underlying components rather than the index itself.

Changing to the decomposition method is simple and straightforward requiring no change in data submission. Because Acadia has access to dozens of common indexes a firm simply needs to confirm which indexes they would like decomposed and Acadia can enable the functionality.

Decomposition has been shown to be able to reduce SIMM exposure by between 30 and 50%. The actual reduction will depend on specifics of the portfolio.

Acadia can provide a calculation of the potential benefit so that firms can estimate an accurate ROI of making the change.
