Why Arcus
Refresh the charts. Backtest the hedge. Track lines and expiries. Walk the call. Leave a deck that still agrees. No plugin into the bank stack.
Good morning
Here’s what needs a call today
Who needs a call
What the desk actually does
The workflow was written by people who sat the call — not a software tour of a desk they never ran.
Market, risk and the mix stay live on the book. Hit refresh — don’t rebuild the file.
PPT and PDF from the same engine the salesperson just walked. The treasurer can keep it.
Home is who needs a call today: expiring lines, overnight moves, the calendar.
Onboarding status, treasury lines, expiration alerts, and exposure scrub — so nothing slips before the call.
Browser, org login. Bank IT will fight Excel add-ins and terminal APPs. They allow this.
Would that hedge have paid on this book? Run history before you walk into the room.
Against the usual options
| Excel / plugin | In-house | Arcus | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bank IT | Add-in review | Months of build | Browser · org login |
| Charts | Screenshot | A second file | Refresh on the book |
| The pack | Paste | A second workbook | Same numbers |
| The call | Hope it still matches | Friday night | Home, then walk in |
| Strategy | A hunch | If someone coded it | Backtest it |
The arithmetic
A typical desk takes five seats. That is not one engineer all-in — and the workflow does not walk out the door when someone leaves.
Home, a client, a backtest, and the pack — no plugin to install.
