  • RiskForecast™
  • RiskForecast™ enables investment managers to readily identify and address operational factors that can measurably improve (or impair) the performance of their products and strategies. Our proprietary analytics measure and rank the causative agents that preclude the effective translation of investment ideas into expected results. Based on data from seven years of observations, RiskForecast™ shows how pre-emptive resolution of operational shortfalls can enable durable gains in performance ranging from 50 to 250 basis points.

    Moreover, RiskForecast™ provides plan sponsors, foundations, endowments and their consultants with the ability to independently evaluate potential shortfalls in portfolio performance due to inefficiencies in their investment manager's operations. Our proprietary analytics generate forward-looking factor-based profiles that deliver a continous 'look-through' at the quality of a manager's operations. Understanding how the manager's operations can (or cannot) realize the full value inherent in their strategies permits institutional inventors to better attribute performance to skill versus operational quality.

  • Data Management
  • The attainment of target investment performance is highly dependent on the quality of the information available to the asset manager. Historically, we have found that a significant number of product development initiatives require an intensive data cleansing and management phase prior to launch (or re-launch). Complex strategies typically require multi-sourced, scrubbed and quality-weighted data streams for use in the underlying models and anlytics. Surprisingly, this often translates to using less, yet better data, resulting in material cost-reductions for data acquisition.
