March 07 2018 - 7:58AM
FactSet, a global provider of integrated financial information,
analytical applications, and industry-leading services, today
announced that one of Canada’s largest and most diversified
institutional investment managers, Alberta Investment Management
Corporation (AIMCo), selected FactSet as its investment risk
management solution.
Driven by the convergence of risk and performance, increasing
regulation, and more sophisticated investment strategies, FactSet
has been expanding its multi-asset class (MAC) solutions for more
than 20 years. With the recent launch of FactSet’s linear risk
model and the integration of the Cognity fat tail approach acquired
through the recent acquisition of BISAM, it now has one of the
strongest MAC analytics, performance, and risk management offerings
in the industry.
“To be considered world class in our approach to risk
management, AIMCo required a partner that complemented our
organization, and enabled us to focus on our core competency. By
providing us a holistic platform that enables us to truly integrate
risk management with portfolio management, while addressing market
data management and operations, FactSet is that partner,” said
Remco van Eeuwijk, Chief Risk Officer, Alberta Investment
Management Corporation.
Following implementation by FactSet’s Professional Services
Group, AIMCo will have access to FactSet’s award-winning solutions
for risk management, portfolio analytics and investment research,
as well as its industry-leading client service.
“This is an important win for FactSet, as it showcases the
benefits of FactSet’s unified risk capabilities, which are a
powerful combination of our strong multi-asset class risk offering
advanced by the Cognity risk framework. Working with a market
leader like AIMCo also reinforces our commitment to the Canadian
market,” said Rob Robie, Senior Vice President, Global Head of
Analytics Solutions, FactSet. Learn more about FactSet's risk
