Investors are demanding more from their risk systems, but today’s platforms are inflexible and siloed. EDS breaks free of the traditional mold to provide a modern approach to risk: a “best-in-class” platform, robust configurability and the ability to maximize risk processes through deep integration with idea generation and portfolio construction.
With EDS, your team is more prepared and proactive:
- Asset selection (alpha) vs. common factors (growth, momentum, size, leverage, quality, macro, industry, etc.).
- Risk and performance attribution across any model, index, sector, strategy, portfolio manager, analyst, etc.
- Reporting that is configurable and able to handle multiple portfolios, asset classes and indices.
- Add MSCI Barra, Wolfe Factors, ESG, Crowding and/or any vendor to EDS.
- A dedicated quant team assigned to your account.
