PerTrac has been recognised by industry publisher Hedgeweek as the “Best Risk Management Software Provider.”
Global Fund Media, parent company of Hedgeweek, polled its 60,000 readers, including more than 20,000 institutional investors, and asked them to assess the best hedge fund performers and service providers during 2010. The results of the Hedgeweek Awards 2011 were culled from over 1,000 responses, and winners were those companies that received the greatest number of votes in their category. When asked why they selected PerTrac RiskPlus, Hedgeweek readers cited its ease of use, its flexibility and the breadth of its risk analysis as key product strengths.
“Although PerTrac RiskPlus has been in the market for less than 12 months, its rapid adoption by investment professionals demonstrates the global need for an affordable and user-friendly way to identify risk in portfolios that include funds and alternative investments,” says Jeff Hendren, Co-President of PerTrac. “This award is the latest acknowledgment that we have developed a solution that addresses the market’s growing need for analysing risk in more opaque asset classes.”
PerTrac RiskPlus, a joint development project with FinAnalytica, is integrated into the latest version of PerTrac Analytics, PerTrac’s leading asset allocation and investment analysis software. PerTrac RiskPlus provides portfolio managers and risk professionals with a comprehensive, easy to interpret report that breaks down a portfolio’s risk and return components. It allows users to see which funds may deserve greater allocations, which ones are problematic and how a portfolio can be expected to perform if certain crisis scenarios were to re-occur in the future.
