CLOUDRISK

What CLOUDRISK does

CLOUDRISK Limited is a UK-based independent provider of valuation and risk advisory services for financial instruments, operating from registered offices in Manchester and London. Founded in 2011, the company targets large buy-side firms, fund managers, hedge funds, asset managers, top tier banks, and national/supranational authorities in banking supervision, delivering independent valuation, portfolio risk, stress testing, and model validation services. Its core offering is a fully managed service that handles market data procurement, payoff modelling, and all operational aspects on behalf of clients, removing the need for them to build or maintain internal pricing infrastructure.

The underlying platform is a fully in-house developed, highly scalable, cloud-based risk engine deployed on in-house and commercial cloud infrastructure. It features a sophisticated quantitative model library covering FX, equity, credit, fixed-income, commodities and complex exotic/hybrid derivatives, using full re-valuation methodology with no approximations and supporting historical and Monte Carlo VAR, sensitivities, stress testing under Fed/EBA/BoE regulatory scenarios, and back-testing. The team combines capital markets professionals from JP Morgan, Citibank and Dresdner Bank with academic affiliates from Oxford, Max Planck Institute, CERN, USC, St. Andrew's and the University of London.

CLOUDRISK monetises through annual subscription contracts for ongoing valuation and risk reporting, usage-based on-demand pricing for one-off deal or portfolio analysis, and professional-services consulting for model validation and bespoke model development. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with bespoke, flexible engagements; the company has no disclosed external funding, partnerships, channel partners, public API, or named customer logos. It claims rapid growth in client portfolio and assets under daily valuation, and its service has been accepted by corresponding regulators for regulatory risk reporting.
