Investor Analytics Launches Newly Upgraded Website Platform for the Hedge Fund Industry

Investor Analytics LLC, a global leader in risk analysis and risk management solutions to the hedge fund industry, announces the launch of their newly upgraded risk reporting platform for the hedge fund industry. The new platform, which makes use of advanced analyses from Visual Numerics, allows end-users greater flexibility and clarity in understanding the potential driving risk factors within a portfolio.

IA’s upgraded platform utilizes advanced visualization techniques and analyses that allow fund managers, asset allocators and investors the ability to determine potential sources of market risk. The platform’s numerous scenarios and dynamic stress tools are used by fund managers in making better informed decisions. For example, the sensitivity analysis tools are being used to determine a better mix of hedging positions while the portfolio stressing tools are highlighting the effectiveness of these hedges.

Damian Handzy, CEO of Investor Analytics said, “Our newly launched platform offers clients cutting edge technology to better understand a fund’s risk profile across different dimensions. Everyone is aware of the recent rise in price volatility, but even things like correlations and sensitivities are much more volatile today than they were just a few months ago. Our new platform gives managers the tools they need to understand their portfolio’s risks when many things move around simultaneously.”

Michael Poisson, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer continued, “Our strategic long term commitment is to use this newly launched platform as a springboard for future advanced risk analyses at the forefront of risk management solutions. Our clients use these tools for their own risk management purposes and many also give controlled access to their underlying investors.”

Market risk continues to dominate the financial sector and hedge funds in particular. Increasingly the trend among hedge funds, fund of hedge funds, as well as investors in alternatives has been to partner with third-party risk management specialists who provide an independent assessment of a fund’s risk profile in order that the portfolio manager can more properly safeguard the investments.
