Jay Wolstenhome, Chartis Research:

Hi. I'm here with Satyam Kancharla, Chief Product Officer at Numerix. First of all, congratulations for being a Chartis BuySide 50 top 20 winner and also winning two category wins for Investment Market Risk - Structured Products and Investment Market Risk - Managed Service. Congratulations Satyam, great work.

Satyam Kancharla, Numerix:

Thank you, Jake. I'm fortunate to be part of a tremendous team here at Numerix . We work hard day in, day out to serve all of our customers. I'm really proud to be able to accept this award on behalf of the team here at Numerix.

Jay Wolstenhome, Chartis Research:

So what does Numerix bring it keep bringing to the table each year to gain this success?

Satyam Kancharla, Numerix:

There are a lot of things that I could talk about in terms of how we differentiate our product, whether it's our multi asset, CrossAsset DNA, the real-time data and real-time analytic capability that we bring to the table support for emerging asset classes like crypto and the success we have had in that field, data management and data quality that is ingrained and built into the product and the overall customer mindset that I think is the key differentiator. The customer focused mindset that we have. We really feel strongly about bringing the best to our customers and letting them innovate, letting them lead in whatever arena they play in, whether they're global macro hedge funds or whether they're insurance companies or buy side firms operating in different markets across the globe, it's most important that they succeed. And this is the focus that that drives us.

Jay Wolstenhome, Chartis Research:

So this has been a tough year and looks like it's going to be another tough year for the buy side asset managers. Any top trends that you see?

Satyam Kancharla, Numerix:

Absolutely. We see a lot of movement in the markets. Obviously, we have seen that in the news. There is volatility, which is back. Interest rates are going up. Inflation's high. We're seeing great macro-opportunity as well as threat and challenges in the face, as also things like the labor shift as well as new regulations like SEC 18f-4. So there's the regulatory dynamic as well as the market shifts that we've seen and they're just building up and it looks like we're going into this new territory. Things, continue to change over the next 12 to 18 months.

Satyam Kancharla, Numerix:

And certainly, we intend to focus on maintaining the edge that we have on the analytics side, on the data side, on new asset classes like crypto and real time so that our customers can chart these unchartered waters and come out successful.

Jay Wolstenhome, Chartis Research:

Thank you so much and congratulations to Numerix. Looking forward to seeing you again next year.

Satyam Kancharla, Numerix:

Thank you, Jay. Looking forward to next year as well. Thank you so much.
