Applications and services
Applications
Discrete solutions delivered to improve management of non-financial risk and performance, leveraging proprietary models, technology and professional networks:
Risk Alpha
Networks provide a superior measure of system stress when compared to traditional measures such as VAR.
They are ideal for representing leverage feedback on a system and provide a holistic tool for planning.
Benefits include real time analytics, early warning and monitoring and testing of structures to minimize downside.
Network Strategy
We connect aspects of technology, data, systemic frameworks and networks to understand and develop strategies for many important aspects of financial services.
Our core competency is in viewing the business environment from a systems perspective and applying technology to understand the risk in this system.
Applying these tools to a network domain allows for improved understanding.
Adaptive Capital
Viewing financial markets as a complex system provides additional opportunities to decrease exposure to unrewarded risks.
A successful approach is both adaptable and repeatable, it formally represents knowledge as a set of concepts within the domain, and the relationships between those concepts.
It can be used to reason about the entities within that domain and increase contextual understanding and awareness for decision making.
Services
Our applications are delivered through private or public engagement.
Private
Our engagements cover issues relevant to insurers, banks, institutional investors, regulators and policy makers. We also work collaboratively with the startup community, providing advice on commercialisation and bringing new ideas to existing businesses.
We specialise in system analysis and design, bringing a range of consulting and analytical methodologies to solve risk and strategy issues. Assignments include research briefings, analytical applications, strategy development and implementation.
Public
Public engagements include industry consultations and research.
