The nature of hedge funds is to create attractive alpha returns combined with efficient risk diversification and immunity against devastating market conditions. But how to provide an unbiased and valid risk assessment taking into account numerous hedge fund valuation problems? While the conventional CAPM and the mean-variance methodology fail when it comes to hedge funds, Quant Risk engine is the natural choice of the alternative investment industry professionals.
- Need to take into account nonnormality of hedge fund distributions of returns?
- Need to valuate funds with short return series?
- Need to compare various alternative risk metrics?
- Need to design your own custom metrics?
- Need to measure tails of distributions of returns?
- Need to conduct stress testing to offset extreme market events?
- Need to valuate fund behavior in dynamic over a period of time?
If your answer is "Yes", then you should consider Quant Risk solutions. As a core part of the Quant Suite, the Risk component presents all-in-one set of software applications for the quantitative risk assessment of hedge funds.
