PerTrac has been recognised for the second year in a row by industry magazine Hedgeweek as the “Best Risk Management Software Provider."
The parent company of Hedgeweek, Global Fund Media, polled 41,000 readers, including over 5,800 institutional investors, and requested their assessment of the best hedge fund performers and service providers during 2011. The results of the Hedgeweek Awards 2011 were compiled from over 1,300 responses, and the winners were those companies that received the greatest number of votes in their category.
"The continued adoption of PerTrac RiskPlus by investment professionals demonstrates the global need for an affordable, powerful and user-friendly way to identify risk in portfolios that include traditional and alternative investment funds," says Brendan Dolan, President of PerTrac. “To be given this award again is yet another acknowledgment that PerTrac has developed solutions that address the market’s heightened need for carefully analyzing risk in less transparent asset classes," he added.
PerTrac RiskPlus, a joint development project with FinAnalytica, is fully integrated into PerTrac Analytics, PerTrac’s industry-leading asset allocation and investment analysis software. PerTrac RiskPlus gives portfolio managers and risk professionals easy to understand and multifaceted reports that break down a portfolio’s risk and return components. It enables investors to discern which funds may deserve greater allocations, which funds are problematic and how a portfolio can be expected to perform during market shock scenarios.
