We Empower You® is not just a slogan!  MPS services resolve your toughest financial management challenges by providing quantitative insights into balance sheet behavior and value and by creating complete confidence in your institution's financial models.  Current management and regulatory hot buttons that MPS solutions address are:

MPS Statistical Analysis Methodology

The MPS Advanced Assessment Methodology© is the right way to assess and forecast the many behaviors of core deposits, CD's and loans.  It is data driven (not constrained to a given set of factors) and simultaneous (inter-category behaviors such as deposit cannibalization and loan prepayment effects across types are captured). 

Control Interest Expense and Equity at Risk IRR

Maintaining repricing discipline as interest rates rise requires being able to look to quantified future depositor behaviors and known benchmarks of expected competitor repricing.  Proving core durations is key to equity at risk IRR measurement.  The key to both of these challenges is quantifying your history with MPS deposit analysis services. 

Testing for Basis Risk

Different interest rates along the curve or across the market move at their own speeds when the general rate environment changes.  Specify MPS non-linear rate ramp or yield curve shape change tests in your next income art risk IRR analysis and learn the truth about basis risk exposure to your earnings.   

Deposit Crediting Rates in FTP

The great divide in FTP between Treasury and Retail is defined by the crediting rate inputs for FTP indeterminate maturity deposits.  Break the impasse and forge bonds of trust by using quantified behavior inputs from MPS as the basis for your FTP crediting rates.
