Risk Management
Company-wide portfolio risk assessment tool
A certain level of risk is essential to any investment strategy. Equally essential is managing this risk. With StatPro’s Risk Management solutions, an investment manager will have a transparent view of risk for portfolio construction, regulatory requirements, and investor relations.
We not only provide standard measures of risk and volatility, but we have also pioneered many enhancements that will help managers isolate critical drivers of risk. We employ advanced models yet present the results in a highly transparent and intuitive interface that can easily be digested by both sophisticated practitioners and concerned investors.
Key features
- Multiple ex-ante risk measures including Value-at-Risk and CVaR (expected shortfall) at a variety of confidence levels, potential gain, volatility, tracking error and diversification grade. These measures are available in both absolute and relative basis.
- Full re-pricing methodology using advanced models based on Quantlib, the leading open-source project for quantitative finance that StatPro founded. StatPro has one of the industry’s widest asset coverage (with over 300 pricing functions), which makes it the perfect solution for many different types of asset managers.
- Sensitivity analysis to key risk factors including interest rates, credit spreads, commodities, volatility, currencies, and inflation. Additionally, stress tests can be applied to portfolios using historical or engineered conditions.
- An integrated credit model that dynamically provides a highly predictive gauge of risk for credit sensitive securities.
- A standardized methodology to capture market liquidity risk. Unlike other measures of liquidity risk that use incomplete information and generalized assumptions, our methodology illustrates potential monetary loss of liquidation based on a more complete view of liquidity– all broken down by components of liquidity risk, namely bid/ask spreads, market cap, nominal size, instrument type, and size of ownership.
- A stable and reliable assessment of tail risk called Hybrid VaR that counters the pro-cyclicality of other measures in the market. Along with conditional VaR, Hybrid VaR provides a clear indication of tail risk that traditional measures don’t capture.
- Complete UCITS IV risk reporting service, when used together with other StatPro’s products, to ensure compliance with UCITS IV risk regulations in Europe.
- Enhanced transparency through robust risk decomposition functionality.

QuantLib is the most successful open source project for quantitative finance in the world. Created by StatPro, it provides financial pricing libraries and tools for building bond pricing functions. Our risk management solution and complex assets pricing, have been built around QuantLib.
“In the past clients have contacted us because they wanted to use QuantLib but their IT policy did not permit the use of open source software in production platforms. They needed a “certified” version, free of mal-ware and guaranteed by a professional operator. But they also wanted our support and integration expertise…” says Dan Burton, EMEA IT Manager, StatPro
Following this market need, StatPro now offers an adapted version of QuantLib, modified in order to meet client requirements.
QuantLib2 offers more than 250 pricing functions. These have been created using QuantLib and give you access to a complete universe of pricing functions for risk assessment covering every asset class from equity, interest rate-linked products to mortgage-backed securities.
