EM Applications is a leading supplier of investment risk solutions to asset managers and securities firms.
Our lead product, Excerpt, combines statistical integrity with ease of use to give a better understanding of the risks a portfolio faces under present conditions and possible future scenarios. It then generates trading ideas, turning analysis into action.
Asset managers rely on our systems to monitor and operate long-only, long-short, hedge and fund of funds strategies. Securities firms use our systems in proprietary trading and derivatives and to support the services they deliver to their clients. Applications range from simply establishing a portfolio's tracking error, through the provision of a wealth of risk characterisation information to a sophisticated and flexible portfolio optimiser and a risk model construction tool.
EM Applications aims to meet its clients' needs by making the most robust statistical techniques accessible to investment professionals in asset management, compliance and marketing. To achieve this we focus on ease of use and apply a philosophy of openness throughout the company's products and services.
We disclose the underlying statistical techniques used in construction of the risk models and make available regular reports on their effectiveness. Our systems use the familiar interface of Microsoft's Excel for both input and output and comprehension of the analytical results is enhanced by the ability of users to select their own methods of characterisation. Our tools are designed to be used stand-alone or can readily be integrated into a larger system.
EM Applications seeks to blend the efficiency of an off-the-shelf package with the suitability of a service tailored to each client's specific requirements. The end result is powerful solutions that are rapid to deliver and easily customised allowing our clients to create risk processes that complement their unique investment offerings.
