Australia's Suncorp Investment Management is deploying DST International's (DSTi) risk management software, HiRisk.
The fund manager has implemented HiRisk across its investment portfolios, which include Australian equities, Australian fixed interest, International equities and fixed interest, listed property trusts and cash.
DSti says the HiRisk product will introduce a common and consistent approach to measuring risk across asset classes.
Kevin Mumford, manager, strategy & planning, Suncorp Investment Management, says the technology will enable the company to help clients develop or review mandates using a value at risk approach: "This will enable clients to consider the amount of risk implied in their investment mandate, resulting in a better understanding of risk versus return."
SunCorp already uses the vendor's HiPortfolio software.
