Risk Management Capabilities

Institutional-Grade Risk Analytics in One Platform

From tail risk to factor exposures — every risk measure your investment committee needs.

Value at Risk (VaR & CVaR)

Calculate Normal VaR, Modified VaR and Conditional VaR at multiple confidence levels. Measure monthly and annual tail risk across all fund types.

Drawdown & Downside Risk

Analyse maximum drawdown, recovery periods, downside deviation, Calmar ratio and Sterling ratio. Set drawdown alerts and monitor in real time.

Factor Exposure Analysis

Decompose portfolio risk using multi-factor models. Measure sensitivity to equity, credit, rates, commodity and currency factors. Identify unintended exposures.

Stress Testing & Scenario Analysis

Stress-test your portfolio against historical scenarios (GFC, COVID, Dot-com crash) and custom macro shocks. Understand tail behaviour before it happens.

Portfolio Construction & Optimisation

Integrate risk analysis into portfolio construction. Build mean-variance, risk parity and minimum drawdown portfolios with full constraint modelling.

Risk Reporting & Attribution

Generate institutional-quality risk reports and performance attribution for investment committees. Automate recurring reports with white-labelled branding.
