Intro text - Hedge Funds

With volatile markets and the rise in geopolitical events, hedge funds are seizing the moment as they search for unique sources of alpha. Today’s turbulence means you need sound risk models and state-of-the-art pricing tools to detect the drivers of return in your portfolio.

Our broad-based risk frameworks, research-driven factor models and popular stress tests can help sharpen your competitive edge by properly assessing contributions to risk and performance, whether your fund strategy is long/short equity, quant, macro, fixed income or something else.
