Liquidity to yield, tools to manage foreign reserves
Central banks have built up substantial foreign reserves, making investment management more complex — especially for those banks moving into riskier assets. This has necessitated the use of adaptive, global, multi-asset solutions for portfolio management, trading, compliance and operations. Bloomberg delivers just such a solution, combined with a complete suite of benchmarking, risk management and return attribution tools, including the ability to measure the liquidity of your individual positions.
Power solutions: Reserve management
Bloomberg's comprehensive solutions enable central banks to act quickly and decisively to conduct open market operations, control risk, oversee markets and manage foreign reserves. Our tools adapt to your needs and the markets — so you always remain on the cutting edge.
For central banks, Bloomberg's Asset and Investment Manager (AIM) delivers global, multi- asset solutions for portfolio management, trading, compliance and operations. AIM is designed to offer the most scalable asset management technology in the market —one that allows clients to grow assets on existing investments and to quickly expand into new asset classes, markets or investment styles without disruption. Bloomberg can also restrict trading to the instruments that match your investment guidelines.
As a reserve manager, your positions must remain liquid and high quality and you must plan for every possibility and execute accordingly. In every case, Bloomberg has you covered. Bloomberg's Portfolio & Risk Analytics (PORT) solution for reserve managers empowers you with the tools required to successfully implement your portfolio investment and risk management strategies. Our platform will help you make quicker, more informed decisions and enable you to measure market-related and security-specific risk exposures for your portfolios. We also offer separate solutions for externally and internally managed reserves, including customized benchmark solutions through Bloomberg indices, the largest family of fixed income indices.
To ensure your position's liquidity, Bloomberg offers a liquidity assessment tool (LQA) that makes quantitative estimates through through traditional market-impact models and machine learning techniques to account for all the relevant factors influencing a security's liquidity.
The Bloomberg Market Data Feed (B-PIPE) enables global connectivity to consolidated, normalized market data in real time and end-of-day reference prices for all exchange-traded securities and some exchange indices.
Electronic Trading Solutions
