Risk Management

SimCorp Dimension’s risk solution offers the opportunity to be in full control of the risk measurement process while minimising operational risk. This is achieved by taking advantage of all referential data and setups already defined in the SimCorp Dimension platform (static data, market data, complex investment structure coupled with customised client benchmarks defined at security level etc.). In fact, users are just a step away from calculating risk, and launching their entire reporting process from SimCorp Dimension’s enterprise solution.

 SimCorp Dimension is highly flexible and offers the possibility to define risk factors, to decide the level of insourcing (should the volatility and correlation be imported or calculated, should beta values be imported or calculated etc.), to select risk models and to choose the preferred calculation processes. Should requirements change, users can broaden their functionalities by adding new modules without changing the existing workflow.

One single figure summarises exposure to hundreds of risk factors, across sectors, currencies, portfolios, etc. SimCorp Dimension’s risk solution provides the necessary transparency to understand these risk key ratios. From the risk factor definition, to the final key ratios calculation, all intermediate computations are displayed so that the figures and their dynamics can be understood and validated before feeding the processes for decision support or client reporting.

SimCorp Dimension allows for analysing of online snapshots, monitoring limits and reporting risk key ratios for sets of positions that can be aggregated, sliced and diced in any dimension. Risk key ratios can be computed based on simulated holdings in front office analyses for decision support or calculated and stored across time for reporting purposes. In SimCorp Dimension, it is straightforward to ensure consistency across different functions: it is only a matter of combining two inputs, a ‘risk model’ and a ‘position aggregation structure’ into your front office and operations workflows.

FEATURES

SimCorp Dimension offers a broad range of key ratios across the full asset class coverage, allowing clients to measure, monitor and manage their risk. All key ratios can be calculated, stored and reported at every level of a flexible, user-defined, position aggregation structure:

– Parametric, Monte Carlo and Historical Value at RiskIncremental, Marginal, Expected Shortfall and risk factor contribution for any time horizon, confidence level, and for both total and active risk

Information about my future job 

Investment management is the professional management of various securities (shares, bonds and other securities) and assets (e.g., real estate) in order to meet specified investment goals for the benefit of the investors. Investors may be institutions (insurance companies, pension funds, corporations, charities, educational establishments etc.) or private investors (both directly via investment contracts and more commonly via collective investment schemes e.g. mutual funds or exchange-traded funds).

The term asset management is often used to refer to the investment management of collective investments, (not necessarily) while the more generic fund management may refer to all forms of institutional investment as well as investment management for private investors. Investment managers who specialize in advisory or discretionary management on behalf of (normally wealthy) private investors may often refer to their services as wealth management or portfolio management often within the context of so-called "private banking".

The provision of 'investment management services' includes elements of financial statement analysis, asset selection, stock selection, plan implementation and ongoing monitoring of investments. Investment management is a large and important global industry in its own right responsible for caretaking of trillions of yuan, dollars, euro, pounds and yen. Coming under the remit of financial servicesmany of the world's largest companies are at least in part investment managers and employ millions of staff and create billions in revenue.

Fund manager (or investment adviser in the United States) refers to both a firm that provides investment management services and an individual who directs fund management decisions.
