Risk101
For derivative asset managers
Risk101 is a front-, middle- and back-office market risk management solution for both risk takers and risk managers.
It incorporates all the essential tools and models required for risk measurement and management in today’s volatile markets, helping fund managers control their exposure at a global level through to individual accounts and asset classes.
The product accommodates all instrument types such as equities, swaps, bonds, foreign exchange, money market, commodities, and their associated derivatives.
The cost of Risk101 is a fraction of competing products. With no initial capital outlay (only a monthly leasing fee) Risk101 is an ideal start-up platform with no long term contractual obligation and a pricing scale to accommodate a growing team.
Monthly fee structures have been designed specifically to cater for hedge fund start-ups who need to minimise start-up costs and speed-up trading capabilities from the word go. The fact that the risk system is bolted onto a top-class PMS allows new entrants an easy entry into the world of trading with a high-end solution that caters for front, middle and back office requirements.
The system can post deals to and load account balances from 3rd party back office systems, and it also maintains an independent set of databases, which provide a valuable cross-check/backup.
It makes use of a four tiered internal account/portfolio hierarchy, which allows the user to drill down through the hierarchy for management reporting purposes.
This is especially useful when producing risk-reports, for example, as it allows senior management to view their exposure both at the company/fund’s level, or right down to a specific account’s level.
