Client Overview:
- Hedge Fund - Long/Short Equity
- AUM: $500+ Million
- Region: Asia-Pacific
- Investment strategies: Focused on Asian equities with a long-term, value-oriented approach
Problems Faced:
- Relied on manual Excel analysis of the portfolio to determine position sizes across numerous user-defined exposure buckets. These Excel extracts were incapable of reflecting real-time market movements and were therefore often incorrect.
- Lacked integrated risk modeling capabilities and flexibility in their scenario analysis in the current portfolio management system. This prevented them from fully determining the impact that significant market moves across interest rates, commodity markets, and many other market risk factors could have on the portfolio.
- Need for a solution that could support the specific cuts of the portfolio and provide a holistic view, so that they could view the portfolio from a number of different vantage points to best assess sector, country and issuer concentrations.
