Extending the Scope: From Back-Office Engine to Growing Front-Office Platform

Helaba Invest was founded in 1991 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Helaba. Since then, it has been responsible for the professional management of assets of institutional investors within the Helaba Group. Helaba Invest’s business strategy is based on the three business areas of liquid assets, illiquid assets, and administration. With a volume of assets under management of around €223 billion (EUR), Helaba Invest is one of the leading capital management companies in the segment of institutional asset management.

Helaba Invest has been using MATLAB^® in its risk management processes for many years and has established scalable derivative valuation and key indicator calculation methods within the company. In 2020, Helaba embarked on the development of an in-house front-office platform based on existing architecture for its risk overlay management system using products such as MATLAB, MATLAB^® Production Server™, and MATLAB^® Web App Server™. 

Hear the advantages and the extensive scope of application that the newly developed front-office platform offers, from back testing to detailed portfolio views. This presentation also addresses current development ideas and--in collaboration with MathWorks—demonstrates how the efficient integration between MATLAB Production Server, MATLAB Web App Server, and Microsoft Excel works in practice.
