Risk analytics
84 products carry this category. Categories are tags, so several of these also appear elsewhere.
What is meant by Risk analytics?
Measurement of the risk in a portfolio: exposure to factors, sensitivity to market moves, value at risk, stress and scenario testing, and the limits and alerts built on those measures.
Who uses Risk analytics?
Risk teams and portfolio managers.
What gets confused with Risk analytics?
Performance attribution. Risk analytics is forward looking — what could happen. Attribution is backward looking — what did happen and why. They often share a factor model, which is why they are sold together.
What should you ask a vendor about Risk analytics?
The model matters more than the software. Ask what factor model is used, who maintains it and how often it is re-estimated.
