Alexis de Bernis

To help our clients understand and automate their business, we had to model structured products in an efficient and complete way. This is a difficult exercise, and rather than reinventing yet another product model, we benchmarked the market and found that the best provider in this exercise is LexiFi.

LexiFi has brought significant improvements to the processes and organisation of our structured products activity, bringing together in one single system all the requirements that our team could think of: a central database of products, cutting-edge quantitative tools, a system to produce precise and up-to-date client facing documents and internal reports, the automatic detection of product life cycle events including cash flow computation for our back office and a complete after trade system. LexiFi is now a central tool allowing our department to cope with a changing and challenging environment.

LexiFi is selling a commercial programming language, MLFi, which breaks down financial transactions into their primitive constituents. These elements can be combined using a standardised syntax to describe instruments at any level of complexity. In essence, this approach is an attempt to create a DNA string for derivatives.

One of the biggest differentiators of LexiFi is their modeling of financial products through a clearly defined grammar with very good extensibility. The simplicity of the interface is also a notable competitive advantage. Besides, we were impressed by Instrument Box convincing computational speed.
