Benefits and Features
BarraOne provides a global, multi-asset class framework for interactive risk analysis, portfolio optimization and construction, stress testing, Value at Risk, and performance attribution. With BarraOne, clients are supported by a highly trained client service team working from multiple offices across the world.
Clients can use BarraOne to help them:
- Identify and quantify the sources of investment risk across multiple asset classes, strategies, and global markets
- Understand whether manager return sources are aligned with investment mandates
- Bring distinct investment strategies, whose risks are managed locally, onto one platform for a consistent measure of risk at the enterprise or total plan level
- Generate automated risk reports to communicate risk along the same dimensions that the total plan is managed
- View sources of absolute and active risk using common factors
- Measure total and active correlations between asset classes and individual managers
- Stress test strategies to understand their returns under historical or expected market dislocations
- Measure Value at Risk and shortfall using Monte Carlo and Historical simulations
Two new risk model enhancements, a new cash flow report and additional datasets, highlight June's upcoming BarraOne release. Learn more about the new features.
