Selection & Replication
Utilizing systematic and mature quantitative processes we help you to find the best managers and instruments to construct your portfolio. We apply a risk-factor approach to further describe portfolio behavior. Selection & Replication also accounts for the selection of the most appropriate benchmark for your managers. For funds with unknown allocations underlying risks can be estimated with our replication techniques. This methodology will allow you to:
- Identify whether a fund or manager generates alpha
- Find a more transparent and cost efficient strategy utilizing smart beta ETFs
- Identify non-linear behavior and better assess the risk of such exposures
- Discover non-linear and derivative driven instruments which can mimic the risk-return characteristics of the fund with a potentially lower cost base and other more favorable conditions

Allocation & Rebalancing
If you are interested in improving your portfolio allocation process or your timing for rebalancing, a key success factor is to find the underlying linear and non-linear risk factors within your portfolio. This enables you to:
- Identify true contribution of active and passive funds to expected risk-return profile
- Improve your allocation methodology whether considering adding, removing, or maintaining your current holdings
- Identify the underlying factor allocation of your portfolio and optimize it according to your objectives
- Enhance rebalancing by considering the business cycle and its link to underlying risk factors

Monitoring & Risk Management
Improve traditional methodologies of ex post performance attribution and risk management with an ex ante, linear and non-linear dynamic factor-based approach. This will help you to:
- Periodically monitor any fund in which you are invested, even non-public, thanks to our factor-based replication techniques
- Correct for biased risk estimates characteristic of illiquid investments and achieve more accurate attribution measurements
- Constantly evaluate manager performance by monitoring alpha statistical significance, systemic sensibilities, as well as the ability to estimate future performance derived from the predefined relationship of our factors to the business cycle
- Enhance your risk metrics by forecasting volatility, correlations, and other distribution moments using models such as multivariate GARCH among various others
- Improve your portfolio stress testing under different macroeconomic scenarios with a factor-based approach clearly linked to the business cycle
