IMRG was the winner for this same award in 2022.

Chris Walsh, Acadia CEO, said:
“It is an honor to be selected for a second consecutive year. We pride ourselves on our deep industry knowledge and expertise, and the ability to manifest that in products like IM Risk Generator and across our entire Risk Product Suite. I would also like to thank our clients for voting for us and having the continued confidence in Acadia to deliver products that fill a critical business need.”
IMRG is designed to cost effectively eliminate the need for users to calculate risk sensitivities or generate the Common Risk Interchange Format (CRIF) file themselves. Over half of all in-scope firms utilize IMRG to calculate over 40 million trade sensitivities on an annual basis. As part of a holistic suite of industry wide utilities, through its integration with Initial Margin Exposure Manager (IMEM), the IMRG service facilitates a seamless workflow enabling a user to perform only one simple step– submitting position details – that drives the calculation of initial margin requirements and culminates in collateral transfer.
Over the past year, to better service the clients utilizing IMRG to further reduce firms IM exposure costs, Acadia added a new index decomposition functionality to assist users in decomposing index trades to benefit from up to a 50% reduction in initial margin for some portfolios.
