Boston, December 13, 2018 – The technology tools used by risk management teams are vital to firms’ operations. In the wider context of buy-side technology architecture, front-to-back platform deployments have challenged the traditional best-of-breed model for smaller functional components such as risk. But risk management remains a bastion of stand-alone specialist systems.

Leveraging the Aite Impact Matrix (AIM), a proprietary Aite Group vendor assessment framework, this report examines the risk technology landscape for buy-side firms and segments the relevant systems along the lines of vendor strength and product performance. Recognizing specific vendors for their strengths in critical areas, the AIM framework in this report offers a detailed analysis of the following vendors: Axioma, BlackRock Solutions, Bloomberg, Calypso Technology, FactSet, Fincad, FIS, IBM, Imagine Software, Intellect Design Arena, MSCI, Murex, Numerix, Quantifi, State Street, and StatPro. Ortec Financial and RiskFirst are also profiled.
