New report highlights the current state of the risk organization at buy-side firms and describes the recent changes in the risk systems landscape

Risk management at buy-side firms continues to evolve with an increasing need to support the front office with ad-hoc analysis and ease the regulatory burden of greater transparency, stress testing, and liquidity risk management. While buy-side firms feel the pressure to simplify architecture, they are also looking to consolidate across asset classes as well as migrate on-premises risk platforms over to SaaS alternatives.

In a new Impact Report, Buy-Side Risk Management Trends: Multi-Asset Consolidation, research and advisory firm Aite-Novarica Group highlights the current state of the risk organization at buy-side firms, significant new trends affecting risk teams, and updates to regulation impacting buy-side risk management. The report also focuses on the technology challenges these firms face and recent changes in the risk systems landscape.

“Pressure from management means some firms must consider front-to-back or front-to-middle systems that have risk capabilities sufficient,” said Paul Sinthunont, Strategic Advisor at Aite-Novarica Group. “Firms should understand the gaps and future plans of these vendors, and partner with providers that have open architectures and are open to partnerships. This means best-of-breed analytics may still be achieved within the integrated system.”

A preview of the report is available online, and desk copies are available to qualified media. Please contact [email protected] or call Kaitlyn Labbe at +1.857.327.9442 for more information.
