Pricing Partners and Siag Consulting International, a tier 1 consulting and systems implementation specialist based in Madrid, have announced today a partnership covering Iberia and LATAM.

Siag Consulting has dynamically expanded its international presence over recent years to support their Tier 1 clients and are present providing both functional business and technical systems expertise in Iberia, LATAM, London, New York and shortly Germany and are specialists in systems integration and support services for leading technology solution providers.

Demand for Pricing Partners valuation derivatives pricing library and independent valuation has reflected the increased needs for transparency and a regulator focus on valuation methodology for reporting and capital compliance. The Iberian markets where smaller financial institutions may not have in house Quant teams to advise on correct methodology and models, require expert local support from experienced Tier 1 risk and technology specialists. Siag’s leading Tier 1 risk management domain competence is a natural synergy with Pricing Partners methodology assuring optimal expert local client professional advice and professional services.
