DATA, RISK & PERFORMANCE

Risk analytics grounded in governed portfolio data.

Produce agreed exposure, concentration, scenario and risk views from governed portfolio data, with transparent assumptions, methodology, lineage and review status.

Overview

Risk analytics transforms portfolio positions, valuations, market data and approved methods into views used to understand exposure and risk. Depending on strategy, measures can include concentration, leverage, liquidity, factor exposure, scenario/stress tests, VaR or asset-specific credit/market metrics.

Most relevant to hedge funds, asset managers, multi-managers and sophisticated family offices; private-credit/real-asset strategies may use more asset-specific measures.

Operating priorities

Risk reports lose credibility when their position set differs from operations or methodology assumptions are opaque. We tie analytics to validated portfolio data and make the methodology, assumptions and limitations visible.

Common operating challenges

  • Risk data differs from official positions.
  • Exposure classifications inconsistent.
  • Method assumptions undocumented.
  • Reports arrive too late.
  • No drill-down from risk number to position/source.

Frequently asked questions

Which risk measures should be listed?

Only measures Kelton can genuinely support; market examples include exposures, VaR, stress and factor analytics.

Does this replace a CRO/risk manager?

No. It supports data and analytics while formal risk oversight remains with responsible professionals.

Why connect risk to operations?

Using the same reconciled positions reduces conflicting numbers across risk, accounting and operations.
