Bloomberg Integrates LexiFi’s Technology to Support its New Derivatives Library DLIB:
Read Bloomberg’s press release announcing the intergration of LexiFi Technology to support its Derivatives Library DLIB.
DLIB provides multiple tools for every step of the derivatives workflow, from idea generation and market-data analysis to structuring and pricing new products, using either standard templates or advanced scripting capabilities. These two capabilities rely on LexiFi’s financial contract description language, MLFi (Modeling Language for Finance).
By using BLAN, Bloomberg’s simplified scripting language built around MLFi, users of DLIB are able to formally describe any financial instrument and automate the entire product life cycle. DLIB and Bloomberg’s pricing models have been tightly integrated with LexiFi’s fast and scalable pricing infrastructure and proprietary real-time code generation technology. This, combined with the flexibility of MLFi, allows Bloomberg to significantly reduce the time-to-market for covering new product structures in DLIB.
"Bloomberg and its skilled financial engineers have made the best use of our technology, providing DLIB users with an impressive feature set and making the power of our contract description language available to users of the new function. We are proud to continue our collaboration and continue delivering through the integration of our latest software, to Bloomberg Terminal subscribers worldwide."
Alain Frisch, Chief Technical Officer of LexiFi
