Duration of course:  1 day

Please Note that the AEF: Equity Pricing is not a standard part of Front Arena but requires an additional license. Please contact your account manager for details.

Certification is available, see AEF Advanced Certification.

Front Arena has powerful tools that enable you to implement complex valuation methodologies and business logic:

  • Arena Extension Library (AEL), is used to interface external valuation libraries and adapt the values and the behaviour of the client.
  • ARENA Data Flow Language, ADFL, is used to define valuation flows and dependencies which are the basis for all calculations in PRIME.

This course will show you how to:

  • Encapsulate C/C++ libraries so that one can pass parameters, classes, objects and results back and forth to AEL
  • Map valuation extensions to corresponding libraries, including calculated risk figures
  • Define parameters to pass to the functions, how to override existing values, and how to optimize their usage.
