Macroeconomic Scenario Screening™ For Hedge Funds

A special event webinar dedicated to ABC Quant's proprietary risk assessment techniques, Macroeconomic Scenario Screening™ and Trend Segmentation™. The most common approach of risk assessment, applicable to any financial instruments, is to calculate relevant risk statistics for a given time interval or aggregated time intervals - during only positive (or negative) returns of corresponding benchmarks. The examples of the latter method are β+, β- or bear correlation. ABC Quant has developed an analytical model going beyond that approach by analyzing risk profiles over aggregated periods of similar states (or trends) of significant market factors, i.e. factors affecting the performance of the instrument being analyzed. The states of market factors depend entirely on the nature of these factors, e.g. bullish/bearish periods of equity markets, widening intervals of credit spreads and so on.
