We are proud to be selected in the 2017 IMEC.iStart accelerator program. This will offer us an excellent opportunity to scale out Yields.io solutions and services.
About Yields.io
At Yields.io, we have created Chiron, our award-winning platform for model risk management (MRM). Chiron is Yields.io’s flagship product. In other words, it is an open, scalable and customisable platform that allows model risk managers to implement their model risk management framework in code.
Our clients use Chiron across all three lines of defence to standardize testing and generate regulatory compliant documentation. Therefore, this approach increases operational efficiency, leading to lower costs, faster time to market and more collaboration between teams.
Chiron’s key services include:
- automation of repetitive analyses (such as backtesting, benchmarking or data quality assessments) so that model risk managers can focus on their SME tasks
- collaborating between all three lines of defence
- creation of reproducible model documentation and validation reports
- monitoring model quality evolution over time
In 2017, Jos Gheerardyn and Sébastien Viguié, two model risk management veterans founded Yields.io. Furthermore, we are an international portfolio of clients made of investment banks, insurance companies as well as regional financial institutions. Besides, the expansion is going quickly and we offices in Brussels and Ghent, Belgium and London, United Kingdom.
