Conning’s portfolio of software modeling tools in-
cludes its cutting-edge GEMS® economic scenario
generator, and ADVISE® stochastic modeling plat-
form, which provide practical solutions for
applications such as economic capital modeling,
strategic asset allocation, and managing assets and
liabilities, risk, reinsurance, and corporate planning.
What is unique about ADVISE® is that it enables
clients to model both assets and liabilities at desired
granularity within an embedded economic scenario
generator (GEMS®). This provides clients with the
option of a comprehensive, stand-alone solution, or
one that can be implemented in components to aug-
ment existing systems. It can also be used for single
or multi-line businesses with complex structures.
GEMS® provides clients with comprehensive real-
world and risk-neutral/market-consistent capa-
bilities in one product. For real-world purposes,
GEMS® models are calibrated based on the long-
term historical record, which will produce the level
and frequency of volatility and stress scenarios that
have been observed over the 20th century and the
recent financial market crises.
