Security Exposure Analysis

FactSet's Single Name Security Exposures lets you look across all portfolios or a subset of portfolios to quantify your exposure to a security, an issuer, an industry, a country, or a specific set of securities. Simply put, it tells you how much you own and where you own it.

Analyze your exposure to long-term, macro trends that you believe critically influence market performance and pinpoint your exposure to the news or events of the day:

• Country exposures like financial concerns in Ireland or political concerns in South Korea
• Company exposures, such as outstanding results from AAPL 
• Threshold exposures, such as all the positions you hold with a 300 basis point overweight versus the benchmark
• Industry exposures such as disappointing numbers of U.S. existing home sales
• New statistics suggesting, for example, that the number of Americans with diabetes will spike in the next 30 years

Benefit from sophisticated, intelligent links to FactSet data and take your analysis several steps further:

• Capture a greater understanding of company ownership by linking from Security Exposures Analysis, which shows you your firm's individual holdings, to FactSet Ownership information that shows you mutual fund and institutional holdings in the same security
