Quantitative Products Analytics produces the GME Analytics library : with more than 2000 users on 9 platforms, it is the premier analytics suite for pricing and risk management of equity-linked derivatives within the Global Markets division of Deutsche Bank, world-wide. The group has responsibility for the fundamental mathematical modelling of equity-linked derivatives and for implementing these models as tools for trading, structuring and sales functions. The product range includes equity derivatives, flow derivatives, cross-asset class derivatives, convertible bonds and others.

In addition, the group carries out longer-term directed research projects. Amongst the current fields of research are stochastic volatility and other advanced models, equity hybrid modelling, (including credit and interest rate hybrids, defaultable securities and commodity hybrids), fund derivatives and options on CPPI strategies, fast and higher-order numerical approximation methods, hedging under constraints and parallel computation.

Quantitative Products Analytics (QPA), and the Quantitative Products Engineering (QPE) operate in close collaboration in areas including the evaluation of new modelling developments and generic pricing tools. The QPA group has published three books on equity derivatives since 1999. A fourth will be published in 2006.
