Comprehensive Quantitative and Risk Analysis

Backtesting

Test your theories about which quantitative and qualitative factors drive performance in different markets. Easily examine trends and produce reports that support your ideas.

Portfolio Simulation

Run simulated portfolio construction strategies prior to implementation.

Data Integration

Combine hundreds of FactSet and third-party databases with more than 20,000 benchmarks and automated uploads of your proprietary data. FactSet handles data management with quality assurance checks, historical identifier mappings, and corporate action handling.

Risk Decomposition and Risk-Based Attribution

Analyze portfolio risk with one or more predictive risk models from APT, Axioma, Barra, Northfield, R-Squared, or your own custom models. View predictive risk characteristics, study exposures, and identify systematic sources of relative performance.

Stress Testing

Reveal your portfolio’s true vulnerabilities by testing it under extreme market scenarios. Identify and hedge against unintended sources of exposure.
