In today's ever-changing global financial landscape, REST APIs have emerged over XML and other API protocols as the linchpin of innovation. By enabling unprecedented efficiency gains through simplicity and flexibility, REST API has resulted in a radical transformation of traditional workflows and desktop-based solutions. However, along with its potential, unique challenges and hidden opportunities can also present themselves within REST API when trying to optimize workflows around specific use cases. 
 
LSEG's Analytics API, built upon Yield Book’s REST API framework, is changing the way that security-level pricing, risk management and instrument analysis is conducted. The Analytics API is the connective tissue of modern finance, enabling more data-driven decisions, greater optimization of portfolio management strategies, and surfacing new ideas and opportunities by leveraging multi-asset class analytics through a single access point. 
 
This webinar will discuss: 
• Unlocking the value of LSEG's Analytics API solution over other API protocols. 
• Leveraging the new combined power of Yield Book’s and Refinitiv’s extensive multi-asset analytics libraries and advanced pricing models to your advantage. 
• Catching up on some of the latest enhancements to LSEG’s Analytics API, such as improved job management and data extraction operations, as well as examples of some potentially under-utilized features that will help you to further optimize your workflows.

Samuel Schwalm, Director, Enterprise Pricing Analytics Proposition  
Pooja Mani, Senior Manager, Software Development
Yair Lenga, Director, Yield Book Core
Connor Pumm, Analytics Solutions Specialist
Michael Kovacs, Analytics Product Lead, Director - Moderator

Physical climate risks are significantly impacting issuers, investors and borrowers across the US; GSEs are holding an estimated $6trn in debt that does not price flood risk*, and large home insurers are withdrawing from key states exposed to wildfires and hurricanes to limit losses**, leading to a rise of 21% in home insurance costs to US home-owners since 2015, difficulty in obtaining mortgages and widespread reliance on insurers of last resort.

Measuring and understanding your holdings’ risks to these hazards is therefore of key importance, and we are pleased to announce our launch of our Physical Climate Risks in MBS solution to help.

The webinar will discuss:
• The importance and impact of considering physical climate risks in property risk assessments 
• Global climate models – what are they, and how to use exposures in a financial context
• Our recent research showing the significant impact of inland flooding on prepayment speeds and valuation in CMBS.

Hosted by Katie Prideaux, Director, Sustainable Investment Analytics, joined by our guest speakers:
• Josh Gilbert, CEO at Sust Global
• Malea Figgins, Research Analyst at TCW Group
• Loy Weng, Senior Quantitative CMBS Researcher at Yield Book Analytics, An LSEG Business

Founded in 2002, Research Affiliates® (“RAFI”) has been a leader in smart beta and asset allocation for over 20 years. RAFI’s investment strategies are built on a strong research base and are led by Rob Arnott and Chris Brightman.

As of Dec. 31, 2022, assets under management benchmarked to the two RAFI index series calculated by FTSE Russell were in excess of $78 Billion.

Research Affiliates’ three core beliefs:
• investor preferences are broader than risk and return,
• prices vary around fair value, and
• a lack of conviction prevents investors from exploiting long-term value.
