"The current methods used to assess market and portfolio risk extend back to the early 1990s. These methods were developed for banks and broker/dealers and then were adopted by the portfolio management and hedge fund community. This audience focuses on short-term risk, which is measured in days for the broker/dealer’s blotter and in months for hedge funds and investment managers. The current methods fail to reflect the dynamics that become increasingly important over the long term—dynamics that generate the periods of major downturns and instability that can derail lifestyle goals and even threaten basic financial security. These are the material risks for individuals and other asset owners. Unlike a bank or portfolio manager, risk comes at an individual from two directions: (1) the market risk that directly affects individual wealth and (2) the personal risk that comes from the uncertainty of life events and changes in risk tolerance and preferences. These interact to make an individual’s risk calculation complex and dynamic." - https://lnkd.in/ettVB7Vm #cfainstitute #risk #investing Please follow the RF Showcase page here: https://lnkd.in/e66zSKD Download and share RF content (free to all): https://lnkd.in/e_JPRYsY Explore the Investment Data Alliance: https://lnkd.in/eS4wXwBX

A recent study found that a staggering 81% of alternative fund managers believe compliance problems have led to losing clients in the last three years. As regulations become more stringent, there has also been a noticeable increase in internal conflicts between fund management teams and compliance and risk teams as well.   What can be done to address this? The solution involves building and supporting strong compliance teams and, more importantly, fostering a culture of collaboration.

How many hedge funds have a dedicated risk person? The answer varies widely by AUM, but one thing is clear: smaller funds are being left behind. 📊 Funds with <$500M: Only 22% 📊 Funds with $500M-$1B: 33% 📊 Funds with $1B-$5B: 37% 📊 Funds with $5B+: 69%! For smaller funds, hiring a dedicated risk officer can be costly and impractical. But in today’s environment of increasing complexity and scrutiny, ignoring risk is no longer an option. That’s where technology-driven risk solutions come in. Outsourcing risk management through advanced tools and platforms offers smaller funds the same insights and safeguards as their larger peers—at a fraction of the cost. It’s a scalable, efficient way to stay competitive and meet regulatory demands without breaking the bank. Are we at the tipping point where technology makes hiring in-house for risk management obsolete for smaller funds?

Funds of ETFs – A New Risk Management Conundrum? Funds-of-ETFs are not new to the world of finance. The breadth of the ETF universe is a more recent market evolution. The moves of model portfolio or advisory teams towards clear “top-down” investment processes reflect this new investment landscape. Patrick Braun, Director, Buy-Side Product Management for SS&C Technologies, writes the data volumes these functional expert teams need to manage with efficiency remain an operational burden to many.
