By Investor Analytics Llc, PRNEMonday, March 28, 2011
IA sees 100% growth in risk services over the past 12-months
LONDON and NEW YORK, March 29, 2011 - Investor Analytics LLC, a global leader in risk analysis and risk
management solutions, announces today the opening of their London office. The
move is prompted by significant demand for IA's risk management services
globally. To lead efforts from the U.K., Investor Analytics is pleased to
announce the appointment of David Fletcher as Director of European Sales.
Mr. Fletcher joins Investor Analytics from MSCI/RiskMetrics where he was
head of Transparency for Europe and previously head of UK Sales. Prior to his
11 years at RiskMetrics, Mr. Fletcher sold fixed income instruments for the
Royal Bank of Canada in London. Mr. Fletcher will be responsible for leading
IA's efforts in Europe and expanding the product offering into that market.
In the previous twelve months, IA's client base has more than doubled
with new clients including hedge funds, pension funds, money market funds,
mutual funds, managed account platforms and funds of funds. New business
developments are attributed to IA's award winning Risk Transparency platform,
highly regarded client services, and customers' need for intuitive, robust
and usable risk tools.
Damian Handzy, CEO of Investor Analytics said, "IA continues to invest in
our people, modeling capabilities, technology and advanced product offering
to better serve our clients. Our new London office will allow us to continue
our strong growth as a global leader in risk analysis and risk management
services. We are delighted to have David join our team. His seasoned
background and experience will fit in well with our existing team and his
joining us demonstrates our commitment to providing a high quality,
intelligent service."
David Fletcher added, "I am delighted to be joining such a vibrant,
dynamic company with a long track record for providing intuitive,
user-friendly risk management services. I look forward to promoting Investor
Analytics in Europe and expect to rapidly develop their growing European
client base."
The topic of market risk continues to dominate the financial sector and
hedge funds in particular. Increasingly, the trend among fund managers and
investors has been to partner with third-party risk management specialists
who provide an independent assessment of a fund's risk profile to enable a
portfolio manager to safeguard their investments.
In 2009, IA jointly announced their strategic alliance with BNY Mellon to
provide enterprise-wide risk management and reporting and has written
numerous whitepapers on risk management. Investor Analytics has received a
number of accolades in the past year for excellence in Risk Management and
Compliance from leading financial publications including Risk Magazine,
HFMWeek and global media and research organization - FSO Knowledge Xchange.
Investor Analytics LLC, headquartered in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey
with offices in Midtown Manhattan and London, U.K. has been providing
portfolio and risk management services to the investment management industry
since 1999. Investor Analytics employs proprietary methodologies to analyze
financial investment portfolios and provides clients with a suite of risk and
transparency tools.
