Transparent risk management and performance measurement

Increasingly complex investment strategies, and the widespread use of exotic instruments, have increased the need for financial institutions to employ correspondingly advanced risk monitoring and performance measurement. A transparent, reliable risk-position overview and risk-adjusted performance measurement are vital in this regard. SimCorp Dimension’s risk management and performance measurement functionality, completely integrated within the SimCorp Dimension front-to-back solution, can fulfil these requirements.

Measure, monitor and manage risk

Specialised investment managers are often selected on the basis of their ability to generate low-risk ‘alpha’, which implies that their investment processes include the optimisation of a comprehensive series of risk-adjusted performance data. Measurement, monitoring and managing risk have become pivotal to the investment industry. SimCorp Dimension’s fully integrated, flexible and transparent risk solution enables the generation of timely and accurate risk reports and brings risk considerations to the forefront of the investment decision-making process.

Map and measure the impact of investment decisions

A flexible performance measurement and attribution system is essential for any investment institution, and the ability to map the investment process, as well as incorporate ongoing adjustments, are key when it comes to true performance analysis. SimCorp Dimension offers the flexibility required to accurately map, measure and report the impact of every investment decision.
