Case Study: a large alternative investment company achieves flexible integrated data management and risk calculations with AQMetrics

Major Multi-asset London Hedge Fund Uses AQMetrics for Integrated Data Management and Risk Calculations

AQMetrics worked with a large alternative investment company, a London-based multi-asset hedge fund with a 20-year track record and global reach, that needed a risk solution capable of handling complex data management and reflecting its unique risk methodologies. The firm had found standard packaged risk tools to be too blackbox and inflexible, and manual amendments after calculations created a repetitive, iterative process.

With AQMetrics’ integrated data management and risk calculation platform, the firm gained a controlled, self-service workflow that let it exclude positions and apply non-standard treatments where needed, including for hedging purposes. AQMetrics’ decision-tree process helped standardize and audit these choices across funds, and the resulting configuration now runs in real time, reducing manual rework and improving the accuracy, timeliness, and automation of downstream regulatory and external reports.
