Staying at the forefront of the industry

With 25 years of steady growth and deep industry knowledge, Allegro Development is the global leader in energy trading and risk management (ETRM) solutions. Allegro helps companies manage all commodities on a single, integrated platform that provides unparalleled visibility into all financial and physical positions, complete logistics functionality and advanced tools that enable strategic decision-making across the enterprise.

Financial Risk Management Solutions

Today's sophisticated and capital intensive commodity markets demand risk management solutions that drive instantaneous transparency into portfolios containing multiple commodities, instruments and currencies. Energy and commodity companies face a challenge in finding an integrated solution that can capture, measure and report in real-time across complex portfolios. Risk managers need the ability to quantify positions and exposures in real-time and act quickly on that information.

Financial Visibility - Allegro's streamlined, highly automated processes for managing risk, price, and supply and demand curves allow managers to develop hedging strategies and estimate asset value. Drill-downs enable transparency of risk exposure at any level across physical and financial positions. Risk functionality is seamlessly integrated with physical logistics, enabling users to examine risk down to specific product deliveries. Position reports present managers with real-time reporting of exposure, limit management and profit and loss across the entire portfolio.

Credit Risk - Allegro's credit risk solutions provide functionality to connect to major credit agencies to download the most current counterparty credit data available, thus reducing the time-intensive and error-prone task of getting the credit data into the system. The solutions provide a wide variety of credit analysis tools to evaluate not only the current state of a counterparty's credit status and liquidity, but to determine the potential future credit risk. These tools interact seamlessly with trade execution and contract management to improve data accuracy and overall efficiency of risk evaluation processes.

Real-Time Analysis - Allegro's solutions allow risk managers to understand the impact of incremental positions on a portfolio, and by utilizing scenario analysis gain insight into potential risks and rewards. Allegro's risk capabilities include real-time simulations, volatility analysis (all Greeks) and pre-trade credit verification. The risk simulation "what-if" tool allows companies to more accurately determine how potential market changes will affect various types of risk exposure. Users can identify potential risk behavior, anticipate market moves, and act accordingly to achieve superior portfolio performance.
