Key Features

Data Management: According to the vendor, Riskdata provides accurate and up-to-date risk calculation by offering the necessary data. The data is collected daily and cleansed by a dedicated data management team.

Real-time Risk Analytics: Riskdata offers real-time risk analytics for cross-asset portfolios using the HuLK VaR methodology. According to the vendor, this Monte Carlo based approach aims to avoid over or underestimating risk across market regimes and has been proven reliable through extensive backtesting.

Reporting Engine: Riskdata's reporting engine allows users to generate standard regulatory reports (UCITS, AIFM, P/F) or customize reports according to their specific requirements. Reports can be generated on demand with a single click or in batch mode without manual intervention. Additionally, Riskdata provides a web-based dashboard called The Global Picture, offering a comprehensive overview of portfolios and their main risk indicators.

Cloud and Local Solutions: Riskdata offers both cloud and local solutions for risk management. According to the vendor, the cloud solution provides easy implementation and is ready to use without any additional requirements. For those who prefer a local installation, Riskdata also offers an option to install the software on their own servers.

Compliance for Large Asset Management Companies: Riskdata computes and gathers all the risk indicators required to comply with regulatory requirements (UCITS, AIFM, P/F) in standard reports. Risk managers can also create custom reports for internal communication or investor reporting. According to the vendor, Riskdata enables risk managers to be proactive by precisely understanding the sources of risk, rather than relying on static reports or calculating a single global risk figure for the entire fund.

Proactive Risk Management for Boutique Hedge Funds: Riskdata's cloud-based risk management solution is ready to use without any implementation requirements, making it ideal for boutique hedge funds. According to the vendor, risk managers can proactively analyze real-time risk and gain a deep understanding of its origin. Riskdata equips hedge fund professionals with the tools to perform dynamic risk analysis.

Smooth Fund Management for Fund Managers: According to the vendor, Riskdata's real-time computation methodology is highly regarded by both risk managers and fund managers. It offers fund managers the necessary tools to effectively manage their funds under risk constraints, such as in a risk parity fund. The Riskdata Portfolio Optimizer enables fund managers to optimize their funds while adhering to their risk management strategy.

Position-based and Return-based Risk Analysis for Hedge Fund Analysts: Riskdata empowers hedge fund analysts to perform comprehensive position-based and return-based risk analysis. Position-based analysis provides a snapshot of risk at a specific point in time, while return-based analysis captures the behavior and long-term risk of fund managers. According to the vendor, the risk profiling engine helps analysts detect asymmetrical behaviors and potential risks in hedge funds.
