The technology behind Volans
Every portfolio. A closer look.
Our proprietary risk engine assesses individual securities and monitors portfolios as markets move.

The eligibility universe
Global assets. Instrument-level assessment.
60 markets
Market coverage across the eligibility and margining universe.
Continuous monitoring
Portfolio values, collateral and borrowing capacity monitored as markets move.
The risk engine
Assessment that looks beneath the asset class.
Volans uses instrument-level models to assess eligibility and advance rates across its securities universe.
01
Eligibility
Each instrument is assessed individually, rather than relying solely on an asset-class category.
02
Advance rates
Liquidity, volatility and concentration inform lending capacity, with assessments revisited as markets change.
03
Monitoring
Changes in the portfolio can prompt engagement and action. Monitoring does not eliminate market risk, margin calls or possible security sales.
Under the hood · dynamic margining
Monitored every day. Instrument by instrument.
Eligibility and advance rates are set instrument by instrument and recalculated as markets move. When a portfolio deteriorates, the client and adviser hear from us early, so there is time to act. Monitoring does not remove margin risk: if a shortfall is not restored, a margin call follows and securities may be sold.
Connected to your platform
Integrated where the portfolio already lives.
The risk engine is built to sit behind a wealth platform, broker or custodian rather than in front of the client. Holdings and prices come in; eligibility, capacity and margin status go back out, inside the environment the client and adviser already use.
Holdings and prices
Position data flows from the platform or custodian. Securities stay where they are held; Volans takes a security interest and a data feed, not the assets.
Eligibility. Capacity. Status.
Instrument eligibility, lending value, available capacity and margin status are returned to the platform through an agreed API or file exchange, refreshed as markets move.
No separate app
Enquiry, application, drawdown and monitoring are surfaced in the platform experience. The platform keeps the client; Volans carries the credit, funding and monitoring.
