“Effective portfolio risk management requires detailed understanding of exposures of every imaginable type within a portfolio, as well as across a number of portfolios.” FinLab’s CEO, Denis de Pentheny O’Kelly stated. “The new custom segmentation and breakdown aggregators provide substantially enhanced segmentation analysis with look through across multiple layers for PackHedge™ users. For example, our clients can understand their portfolios’ exposures cascading across Industry segments, then by Geography, then by Currency and then by Asset. As a result, based on internal guidelines and judgment, clients can make the necessary adjustments to their portfolio(s) to mitigate risks. In addition, any sort of segmentation(s) can be setup, such as; ESG performance, Long/Short exposures, Investment Type, Capitalization, etc.”
