Algo Risk Reports meets the increasing need of hedge funds for a cost-effective risk reporting solution, incorporating advanced risk analytics, to achieve regulatory compliance, support better investment decisions, and enhance investor confidence.
In Algo Risk Reports, Hedge Funds have a choice of pre-configured risk reports that are built on Algorithmics’ patented Mark to Future methodology.

Mark to future methodology
Algorithmics’ patented Mark to Future methodology underpins Algo Risk Reports’ unique approach to advanced risk management, ensuring that it is grounded in reality: risk numbers do not need to be scaled over time and, during simulations, matured instruments are settled correctly, whilst optionality (e.g. changing a fixed income exposure to an equity exposure for convertible bonds) is exercised properly, and the ageing of instruments are accurately captured.
Designed for accuracy
Algorithmics believes risk oversight should be an enabler, and not a hindrance to strategies hedge funds may wish to deploy. Algo Risk Reports offers a pre-defined universe of traded and non-traded instruments to address most hedge fund needs. Model accuracy is especially important for proper measurement of path dependent instruments, for example, barrier options and callable convertible bonds, where proxies are proven to be grossly inaccurate. All assets are modeled and validated by Algorithmics’ financial engineers to enhance accuracy and consistency.
Offers flexible migration path to managed service or in-house deployment options
Depending on the level of sophistication required, Algo Risk Reports as part of the Standard Edition of Algorithmics’ Portfolio Construction and Risk Management solution for Hedge Funds, offers the option to migrate to the more powerful Enterprise Edition – available either as an in-house deployment or in the form of Algorithmics’ award-winning managed risk service – which is interactive and customizable to a hedge fund’s specific requirements.
