How do Hedge Fund/Asset Managers benefit from Risk Ticker Station?

Customized risk dashboards

With the "Excel Add-In", a fund manger can easily integrate his custom risk analytics into his hedge fund Strategy WorkSheet and create fully customized risk dashboards that will provide reports in real time with regular updates.

RtScript` library

Risk Ticker Station comes equipped with a robust "RtScript" library of highly optimized functions for Asset Construction, thus enabling the clients to customize a specific instrument easily. This also provides managers with the ability to incorporate proprietary models for the most sophisticated and custom derivatives, allowing them to leverage their own quantitative research quickly.

Library of equity, derivative "pricers"

Risk Ticker Station offers capability to perform Risk Analysis, Simulation and Reporting on all asset classes and trade structures, as well as on any user defined instrument/asset/portfolio by providing a vast library of Equity, Derivative "Pricers".

Vast repository of pre-calculated risk parameters

Risk Ticker Station provides asset managers with affordable access to a vast repository of pre-calculated risk parameters, eliminating huge computation overhead and helping them to benefit from the power of a quantitative application which until now was the exclusive privilege of large financial institutions only.

Pre-integrated and daily cleansed data

Risk Ticker Station provides managers with pre-integrated and daily cleansed data, covering a broad asset class of over 25,000 risk instruments/assets. This helps the managers to ignore the overhead of expensive and complex data-cleansing, data maintenance and acquisition operations and perform their primary roles more efficiently.

1000+ lines of portfolio per second

Risk Ticker Station is not only a cost effective solution for asset managers, but it is also an efficient and reliable product. Demonstrating a fast re-evaluation, it is capable of evaluating 1000+ lines of portfolio per second.

Monte Carlo VAR calculations

Risk Ticker Station equips the user with all Monte Carlo VAR calculations, for example, Marginal, Incremental Value-At-Risk and also computes statistical real-time Greeks of the portfolio.

What-if scenarios

Risk Ticker Station prepares managers to face rapidly changing market conditions and helps them to simulate the impact of their actions or certain adverse market scenarios in advance. The managers can use Classical or "Correlated Non Linear" Stress Testing, Replication and Factor Analysis to gauge and monitor the impact.

Calculates risk in real time

Unlike less sophisticated real time risk engines, the Risk Ticker Station does not make parametric simplification, but calculates risk in real time with the full modeling of the market correlations even for the most complex portfolios.

A comprehensive API

Risk Ticker Station is a comprehensive API and has been designed in a way that makes it intuitively obvious to any user conversant with MS Excel, sparing him the underlying complexity with "behind the scene" mathematical computations.

“We have seen an increase in institutional investors adopting sophisticated risk management techniques. Even the smallest pension fund understands that portfolio construction based merely on asset allocation is insufficient: there has to be risk allocation too.”
