Lacima Analytics Reviews & Product Details

COMPLETE VALUATION, OPTIMISATION AND RISK MANAGEMENT FOR ENERGY AND COMMODITY PORTFOLIOS Lacima Analytics is a comprehensive valuation, optimisation and risk management solution designed for energy and commodity businesses. It provides a consolidated view of value, market risk and credit risk across portfolios of physical assets and complex financial contracts. Supporting multiple commodities, geographies and currencies, Lacima Analytics helps organisations analyse risk across power, gas, LNG, crude oil and refined products, metals, soft commodities and other energy and commodity markets. COMPREHENSIVE VALUATION AND RISK ANALYTICS Lacima Analytics supports a wide range of market and credit risk metrics, including Parametric VaR, Historical Simulation VaR, Covariance Monte Carlo VaR, Earnings-at-Risk, Gross Margin-at-Risk, Cashflow-at-Risk and Potential Future Exposure. Users can perform stress testing and scenario analysis across market prices, positions and model parameters. This includes analysing the impact of potential new trades, changes to volatility, correlations and other market assumptions. Detailed drill-down capabilities help users move from portfolio-level results to underlying trades and analytical drivers, making it easier to identify risk hotspots and understand why valuation or risk metrics have changed. ASSET VALUATION AND OPTIMISATION Lacima Analytics also supports the valuation and optimisation of physical assets, incorporating their specific costs, operational constraints and characteristics. Supported assets include thermal, hydro, wind and solar generation, batteries, gas storage, swing contracts, LNG and other commodity assets. The solution supports more than 200 financial contract types alongside physical asset modelling. FLEXIBLE AND INTEGRATED Lacima Analytics can consolidate portfolios and risk from multiple deal capture and risk systems, helping organisations achieve a single view without replacing their existing infrastructure. Flexible connectivity options include manual entry, staging, Microsoft Excel, CSV, custom integrations and REST APIs. Analytics outputs can also be integrated with existing reporting and business intelligence frameworks. The modular architecture allows organisations to select the capabilities they require and expand the solution as their business, markets and analytical requirements evolve.
