Factor Analysis And Style Analysis Software For Hedge Funds And Fund Of Funds

The Factor Analysis component of Risk Shell utilizes various statistical models to reveal the relationship between an independent variable (typically a fund or an asset being analyzed) and a group of explanatory variables or a factor subset (typically macroeconomic factors, global indices or style indices). The output of factor analysis is a regression factor model that explains asset returns in terms of identified factors' returns. That factor model can be further used for the Style Analysis purposes or stress testing. Risk Shell offers both Returns-Based and Holdings-Based factor analysis as well as Static and Dynamic Style Analysis designed specifically for hedge funds and alternative investments.
