2 SUNGARD SunGard is one of the world s leading financial software and technology services companies ADAPTIV SunGard's Adaptiv solution is a robust, scalable and future-proofed risk infrastructure ANALYTICS A flexible and extensible engine for fast calculations of a wide variety of pricing and risk measures on a broad range of asset classes and derivatives

3 PERFORMANCE DEMANDS Valuations 30 year semi-annual interest rate swap Market Risk Sensitivities 20 HSVaR 250 Monte Carlo VaR MC VaR Factor Groups Potential Future Exposure PFE Stress Tests CVA Sensitivities 5,000 15, ,000 7,000,000 21,000,000

4 ADAPTIV ANALYTICS PRINCIPLES Extensibility Clients extend system in the same way as SunGard Transparency All models written in C# Accuracy Generate accurate cash flows and dynamic dates Availability Avoid barriers to taking advantage of new hardware Flexibility Don t force a particular hardware configuration
