Analytics Package Expands Coverage By Susan L. Barreto, Senior Reporter NEW YORK (HedgeWorld.com)—PortfolioScience Inc. has extended the instrument coverage in its RiskAPI offering to include more currency, options and commodities trading analysis. RiskAPI's risk management and market analysis software has been offered to hedge funds for some time, but now PortfolioScience President Ittai Korin said the firm is selling the web-based package to new users in Asia as the firm's client base grows to include more hedge funds, as well as their prime brokers and fund administrators. During the last two quarters, RiskAPI has added global financial futures and commodities coverage in more obscure markets, primarily in Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea, Mr. Korin said. Other markets in Belgium and the Netherlands have also been added in recent months. Analysis of the London metal markets is another new feature of the platform, letting traders track spot, forward and options trading. Spot currency markets were also added with coverage of currency options and exotic currency positions. On the equity side, the web-data feed now has access to information across the global equity spectrum with the addition of Latin American and Central American equity markets. |
