FM aims to be a significant player in our market leader and challenger markets, with an additional presence in all the major international markets and specialist expertise in selected emerging markets and products. 

Within FM, in Competitive Pricing area, we have ING Pricing Architecture (IPA) platform, which consists of multiple components that enable real-time and batch calculations of financial risk metrics and simulations (e.g. XVA, PFE, Value at Risk, Expected Shortfall, Bilateral Margining, pre-deal derivatives Pricing) which are driven by new banking regulations as well as advanced Risk analysis on the derivative product portfolio of Financial Markets (interest rates, credits, foreign exchange). This platform is in the heart of the IT landscape for our global dealing rooms and risk managers in Asia, Europe and Americas, with aprox. 30 scrum teams spread across 4 locations (Amsterdam, Brussels, Bucharest and Singapore), cooperating to evolve it towards target ING Financial Markets IT vision. 

The IPA Position Management (IPM) team is addressing a critical challenge faced by trading desks: the need to use multiple pricing and reporting solutions to obtain an accurate view of their positions. Currently, trading desks rely on different systems for various metrics, such as Net Present Value (NPV) from one system and cash positions from another, due to the perceived superiority of different engines in specific areas. Our aim is to create one user interface, where the user with one click can receive an accurate EOD or Intraday Position view, combining multiple Pricing Engine result into one end product for the user
