Page title - what is Galapagos Structurer

Galapagos Structurer is a powerful online structuring service that unlocks greater returns for synthetic CDOs.

Already established as the industry standard for building optimized synthetic CDOs, Galapagos Structurer enables arrangers of all sizes to create products with optimal spreads in a fraction of the time traditionally taken.

By applying evolutionary computing technology to market-standard pricing and rating models, Galapagos Structurer can be integrated with a minimum of fuss into existing CDO operations. It maximizes the spread for rating as calculated by the latest models and automatically optimizes portfolios within the tightest of specifications.
