\u201cAC has seen significant growth in the past 10 years and needed a dependable solution with the scalability to help them adapt fast to ever-changing markets,\u201d said Rachid Lassoued<\/strong>, Global Head of<\/strong><\/p>\n

Financial Engineering and Risk at Bloomberg<\/strong>. \u201cWe are pleased to continue working with AC to increase operational efficiency in risk management and hedge accounting.\u201d<\/p>\n
