LONDON, February 25 /PRNewswire/ --
SunGard's Ambit Risk Performance solution has been voted as the number one asset and liability management (ALM) solution for the second straight year in Risk magazine's annual technology rankings. SunGard's Ambit solution also scored highly in several other categories, including integrated market and credit risk management, credit risk management, and risk management -- Basel II and International Accounting Standards (IAS) compliance.
The Risk rankings, which were compiled from a poll of over 2,500 financial institutions worldwide, are regarded as one of the industry's most prestigious rankings. The introduction of ALM as a dedicated category in 2007 reflects a growing view of ALM as an integral part of risk management. Participants in the survey were asked to base their votes on functionality, usability, performance, return on investment and reliability.
