Risk Management

It is essential in today’s volatile markets to be able to explain and control the market risk taken by a fund. Institutional grade software is not an option, it is an absolute necessity. Investors demand transparency, a secure infrastructure, a robust real-time environment and rigid internal controls to secure their investments.

Risk management is core to Oneview Asset Management. We have built an integrated valuation and risk management platform where you can examine at any level of aggregation: portfolio, asset class, strategy or by your own filters:

Live NAV
Sensitivity Analysis
Marginal VaR
Contributed VaR
Stand Alone VaR
Scenario Analysis
Risk Reports

As risk management moves beyond single rate sensitivity, Value at Risk become a key tool for the risk manager. Oneview Asset Management has built a leading edge, real-time Value at Risk calculation module. Historical simulation combined with various noise reduction techniques which makes our Value at Risk a stable, reliable, comprehensible, and therefore, useful measurement for any collection of positions from single through to a collection of funds.

Within Oneview Asset Management, it is possible to combine the flexibility of stress testing with the power of simulation present in Value at Risk by performing Factor Analysis. This allows you to monitor, again in real-time, the expected change in value for a set of positions if a move in a user defined were to occur. This powerful technique allows you to check whether you are market neutral, or attempt to predict what would happen if a shock occurs.

Front Office

Whether electronic or manual, Oneview Asset Management supports trade capture of an extensive suite of instruments, with support for fixed income, foreign exchange, commodity and equity asset classes and derivatives.

With native support for the FIX protocol, Oneview Asset Management is tightly integrated with executing broker infrastructure, platforms and portals, enabling managers to take full advantage of the electronic trade capture and reducing the need for manual re-entry. Fully integrated with our position blotter, risk engines and analytics, trade capture allows real-time valuation, risk and P&L on a portfolio from the instant a trade is booked.

A portfolio management system should be much more than just trade capture and valuation. It should allow you to analyze your portfolio in many different ways in order to fully understand your exposure. In addition to the primary values that are required; Oneview Asset Management provides cash balances, OTC cash flow forecasting, as well as tools to simplify financing trades.

True valuation of a multi-asset portfolio in real time is difficult. It requires the co-ordination of market data, reference data, and analytics. Oneview Asset Management Complete allows you flexibility in market data providers, access to validated reference data, and the use of our integrated analytics libraries for OTC valuation.

However, valuation is only useful if you are also given enough supporting information. Oneview Asset Management allows you to monitor benchmarks, generic rates and other user-defined indices alongside the portfolio valuation allowing any slippage between execution and the idea of the trade to be monitored.

Oneview Asset Management’s proprietary front office Market Monitor is the heart of our flexibility. Intuitive and easily configurable, our advanced infrastructure allows unparalleled customization of the application, data, and reporting enabling managers to combine data elements from anywhere within the system – external market data along with their own analytics.

With uses across portfolio management, risk management, NAV calculations and market moves, Oneview Asset Management’s Market Monitor remains one of the most extensively used components of Oneview Asset Management. These customized configurations are easily shared and distributed across an organization allowing unprecedented transparency across the firm.

Back Office

Oneview Asset Management provides a complete back office solution: from exchange traded and OTC trade workflow and tracking, trade confirmation and reconciliations, cash and collateral management, to on-demand NAV calculation and P&L attribution. The Oneview Asset Management Back Office platform provides real-time monitoring of all trade feeds to and from multiple Prime Brokers, Fund Administrators and electronic confirmation platforms. Many of these processes are automated thus reducing the margin for human error.

Oneview Asset Management aims to fully automate all reconciliations between a Fund and their Prime Brokers and Fund Administrator – positions, trades and cash. With extensive exception based reporting the manager is able to more effectively interact with Prime brokers, Administrators and Counterparties as breaks arise. With a focus on ease of use Oneview Asset Management’s reconciliation engine enables “one touch” re-runs and eliminates the need for manual file manipulation and batch transfers.

Oneview Asset Management is the central hub for monitoring all trade feeds to and from multiple Prime Brokers, Fund Administrators and electronic confirmation platforms. The STP monitor updates in real-time, based on changes from the front office platform, and status updates from third parties enabling you to be aware of outstanding issues the second they happen thereby minimizing operational risk.
