UK-based Neptune Investment Management, an independent boutique established in 2002 and which currently runs over GBP7billion in assets, has selected SunGard’s APT, a leading risk management and portfolio construction solution, to help with internal and external risk reporting. APT will help the firm not only meet UCITS IV regulatory requirements but also strengthen its risk management process with stress testing and the Monte Carlo Value at Risk calculation, as well as enable automatic risk reporting. APT is to be used across Neptune’s range of UCITS funds. “The integration of APT is designed to augment our risk management processes and will help add significant value company-wide,” said Gavin Creary, risk officer at Neptune Investment Management. APT would help Neptune’s fund managers gain a “clear perspective” on the drivers of risk and return added Rob Mackay, chief operating officer of SunGard’s APT business unit. “APT’s flexible analytics are easily integrated into Neptune’s existing infrastructure, helping it benefit from robust risk management and risk reporting,” said Mackay.
