Anticipating, measuring, and managing risk is essential to successful portfolio management. Axioma offers an array of solutions and implementation options, ranging from portfolio optimization to performance analytics, which can be used on a standalone or integrated basis. The company provides a full array of risk-management tools that measure sensitivities, assess risk characteristics, stress test, and build hedges at the portfolio.
Today, investment in stocks, assets or portfolios is all about the trade-off between risk and return
‘Axioma Portfolio’ is an integrated suite of tools—Axioma Portfolio Optimizer, Axioma Portfolio Analytics, and Axioma Risk Model Machine. Organizations can gain unparalleled insights into portfolio risk and return with Axioma Portfolio An-alytics. Whereas, with Axioma Risk Model Machine, portfolio managers can create custom risk models that are fully aligned with risk factors needed to construct and optimize portfolios. The Axioma Portfolio Optimizer helps firms in constructing port¬folios, test strategies, and rebalance risk, return, and cost.
Just recently, Axioma released a new functionality for Axioma Portfolio Optimizer, which enables investment managers to optimize portfolios using multi-asset class risk models. With multi-asset class investing on the rise, this critical new connectivity between risk analytics and cutting-edge portfolio construction allows firms to more easily and accurately build or rebalance portfolios. “Firms today are under enormous pressure to better manage risk and understand how different factors impact their portfolios,” says Ceria. This latest release from Axioma represents the company’s commitment to delivering innovations that answer the evolving needs of its clients.
“The secret to our success is the fact that in this business, you have to innovate, but the challenge with innovation is that if you do it in a garage without talking and relating to the clients you may come up with something that nobody wants to buy,” says Ceria. So, Axioma focuses on collaborating and bringing new innovations to its clients in a way that they are actually useful to them. “Our business is all about people, who can relate to the client, and innovate in a way that everybody in the whole organization can be affected,” concludes Ceria.
