As part of managing money for clients, once of the main focus for Financial Advisors is to ensure suitability obligation towards their clients. One of the cornerstones of ensuring suitability is to make sure the investments are within the "Risk Tolerance" of the client. Kraytis Risk Manager provides Quantification of Risk for an equities portfolio. The first of it's kind, this feature can be used to ensure suitability for a client. The Daily Risk will track against the Risk Tolerance of a client, thereby ensuring the investments recommended are suitable for the Client. Furthermore, using Scenario Analysis, a portfolio can be tailored to suit a client's Risk Tolerance.
Portfolio Construction
Along with Asset Managers, ETF's and Mutual Funds are one of the main areas where portfolios are constructed for investment. Kraytis Risk Manager is the perfect tool to build a portfolio while ensuring risk is within the published and targeted risk profile of a Fund or ETF. Kraytis Risk Manager can give Money Managers the ability to do scenario analysis to build and tweak the portfolio based on the recent changes in the markets. Monitoring the Daily Risk, a fund manager can predict (with a 95% confidence) the maximum downside in the NAV for a single day. The "Risk Contribution" feature is a very unique and powerful piece of information during portfolio construction. Money Managers can instantly see how risky any particular security is with respect to its portfolio weight, and tweak the holding size or opt out of a particular security altogether, depending on their forecast for that security.
Risk Quantification & Analysis
Risk Quantification is a powerful feature for Portfolio Risk Analysis. The Daily Risk in terms of monetary value is a huge data point in knowing where the potential loss is as compared to the risk appetite. Wealth Platforms, Brokerages and 401K providers add the usual Portfolio metrics to the users, however, a single number that predicts the potential maximum loss on a daily basis (with a 95% confidence) can be an extremely significant value-add for Money Managers and Indivdual Investors. Adding a "Risk Panel" to the summary page of any portfolio gives a completely different angle to analyze the Portfolio Risk.
