AARQ (Ascend Asset Risk Quantifier) is a highly sophisticated and unique tool for quantifying risk and reward in aircraft financing.

AARQ estimates values across a spectrum of market outcomes by scrutinising the value forecasting procedure and varying factors such as the market cycle across a range of ‘time horizons’.

By analysing the accuracy of prior forecasts by use of the Monte Carlo Simulation, AARQ determines the probability of future values being achieved and is an additional resource for assessing any proposed investment in commercial aircraft.

In doing this, AARQ derives parameters such as Expected Return (ER), Average Downside Risk (ADR), and Value at Risk (VaR). These can be used for structuring, pricing and / or selecting aircraft loans/investments. Used in conjunction with Ascend’s V1 online aircraft and asset valuation tool, AARQ allows levels of certainty to be assigned to values.
