Numerix

Numerix is an American capital markets analytics and risk management technology company headquartered in New York City. It develops pricing, risk management, and portfolio analytics software for financial derivatives, structured products, fixed income securities, and convertible securities, serving sell-side institutions including banks and broker-dealers, and buy-side participants including asset managers, insurance companies, and hedge funds.

The company's platform ecosystem spans derivatives pricing and XVA analytics through Numerix Oneview and CrossAsset, fixed income and asset-liability management through PolyPaths, convertible securities analytics through Kynex, and cross-asset quantitative analytics libraries through the FINCAD Analytics Suite and NxCore. Its software supports regulatory capital calculations including SA-CCR, FRTB, and ISDA SIMM (initial margin), as well as counterparty credit risk, real-time market risk, and structured product valuation across rates, FX, equity, credit, commodities, inflation, and hybrid instruments.

Numerix was ranked #14 in the Chartis RiskTech100® 2026, an annual independent ranking of the world's leading risk and compliance technology providers, and received category awards for Front Office Risk Management and XVA for two consecutive years.^[1]

Numerix was founded in 1996 in New York City by Alexander Sokol, Nigel Goldenfeld, Mitchell Feigenbaum, and Michael Goodkin as a quantitative software company developing multi-asset class pricing toolkits for OTC derivative instruments. The founders brought expertise from computational physics and quantitative finance, applying Monte Carlo simulation and numerical methods to derivative pricing at a time when such capabilities were largely confined to proprietary in-house systems at major banks.

Greg Whitten, a former chief software architect at Microsoft and early investor in the company, made a significant additional investment of US$32 million in 2001, enabling Numerix to expand its platform and grow its client base among sell-side institutions globally.

Numerix CrossAsset, the company's foundational pricing and risk analytics library, became one of the financial industry's most widely used independent derivatives pricing engines, offering model coverage across fixed income and rates, equity, FX, credit, commodities, inflation, longevity, volatility, and hybrid instruments.

In 2016, Numerix introduced Oneview, a real-time front and middle office risk management platform built on a microservices architecture. Oneview integrates pre-trade pricing, post-trade valuation, XVA calculations, counterparty credit risk (CCR), market risk, margin, and regulatory capital analytics within a single platform. It supports Python integration, cloud-native and hybrid deployment, and is designed for use by banks, asset managers, and trading desks requiring enterprise-scale risk computation across complex, multi-asset portfolios.

Oneview for XVA won the Risk Markets Technology Award for XVA Calculation Product of the Year in 2023.^[2] Numerix Oneview was named Best Sell-Side Market Risk Product at the WatersTechnology Sell-Side Technology Awards in 2023, and Best Market Risk Solution Provider in the WatersTechnology 2025 Waters Rankings.^[3] Numerix Oneview was also named Best Risk Management Platform in the 2023 FinTech Breakthrough Awards.^[4]

In August 2022, Numerix was acquired by Genstar Capital, a San Francisco-based private equity firm.^[5]

In May 2023, Emanuele Conti was appointed President and CEO of Numerix, succeeding Steven O'Hanlon, who had served as CEO since January 2013 and became Vice Chairman.^[6] Conti previously held executive leadership roles at Opus Global, Kroll, and Dun & Bradstreet.

In April 2023, Numerix acquired FINCAD, a Vancouver, Canada-based analytics company specializing in the pricing and risk analytics of financial derivatives and fixed-income products, from Zafin.^[7] FINCAD's analytics suite extended Numerix's fixed income and multi-asset derivatives coverage for buy-side institutions.

In August 2023, Numerix acquired PolyPaths, a provider of analytics and risk management solutions for fixed income and structured finance.^[8] PolyPaths provides portfolio analytics, scenario analysis, and asset-liability management (ALM) capabilities covering bonds, structured notes, mortgages, mortgage servicing rights (MSRs), asset-backed securities, and derivatives. The acquisition extended Numerix's reach from the trading book into the banking book, enabling ALM analytics for banks and insurance companies.

In October 2024, Numerix acquired Kynex, a New Jersey-based financial platform founded in 1999 and specializing in convertible securities valuation, portfolio and risk management, and trade flow and order management.^[9] Kynex serves investment banks, asset managers, hedge funds, and broker-dealers in the convertible bond and hybrid securities market.
