APT Publish a New Whitepaper for Investors

APT are a financial risk management firm offering technology based solutions to investors.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 27, 2011 --APT have just published a new whitepaper aimed at investors and discussing the management of risks in the context of multi-asset class investments.

APT find the investors and fund managers they work with quality risk management which is based on research and evidence. They carry out research into relevant areas and use this to inform their work, and this whitepaper makes a contribution to that. It asks questions about how risks can best be managed for those working across multiple asset classes, and offers solutions. The paper is called 'Building a Multi-Asset Class Model: the Commodities Example – Correlation is the Key'.

The solution they propose in the paper is to establish a system of scenario based risk management. For investors, this means that APT would look closely at events across various different areas of investment and transfer that into their risk modelling and analysis. APT's approach aims to respond to real events and be flexible in doing so in order to meet varying needs. APT recognise in the paper that the market will always be prone to shocks and financial dislocation. The key to good risk management in that context is to analyse how and why they occur. Risk managers need to ensure too that they recognise the importance of separating the attribution of risk and management of it.
