ISEC and MSCI announces the availability of an integration of MSCI’s RiskMetrics RiskManager with ISEC Risk Management.

The aim of the co-operation is to offer primarily small- and mid-sized fund companies in the Nordic countries and Luxembourg with resilient and high quality risk services which are backed by world leading research from MSCI and delivered as a turnkey service by ISEC.

“This integrated tool combines MSCI’s high quality risk modeling with ISEC’s established risk management offering”, says Stefan Dahl, Head of Risk Management at ISEC.

“This agreement with a leading asset management service provider, will allow MSCI to support small and mid-sized companies in the Nordic countries and Luxembourg in a more robust way. Leveraging ISEC’s established presence enables us to streamline the delivery of our high quality risk services, built on MSCI’s leading research”, comments Andreas Karlsson, Vice President at MSCI.

The integration between RiskManager and the Secura platform allow fund companies managing either UCITS or AIF funds to receive comprehensive on-demand reports related to their portfolios. By generating reports based on calculations from both RiskManager and Secura, ISEC is able to provide its customers with a complete overview of their portfolios’ risk exposures, liquidity metrics, performance, compliance and other data.

“This new add-on service based on MSCI’s RiskMetrics RiskManager is in line with ISECs’ strategy to partner with successful solution providers in order to offer value added services to our customers”, says Mario Victorsson, Head of Product partnerships at ISEC.
