About company
Scanrate Financial Systems is a provider of advanced financial software and consulting specializing in Danish bonds. We assist investment professionals in making strategic decisions. Scanrate Financial Systems A/S started 1986 as a spin-off from fixed income research at the Aarhus School of Business. Our present CEO and partner, Svend Jakobsen, and two fellow colleagues, turned their research into the software system RIO - which is an acronym for the Danish ‘Rentestruktur for Inkonverterbare Obligationer’ and translates as: Term Structure of Interest Rates for Non-Callable Bonds. It was the first and - and for several years the only – program capable of estimating zero coupon yield curves for the Danish bond market. Within the first two years, almost all larger Danish banks and several pension funds were using RIO – and most still do.
