London-based Bita Plus has launched version 4.5 of its flagship portfolio analytics system Bita Plus which includes the latest global factor risk model.
The global style factors - size, value, momentum, volatility and liquidity - transcend country and industry effects and enable intuitive reporting and control of risk in global equity portfolios, the company says.
Global, regional and country factor risk models have been available for some time from Bita Plus, but extensive global testing has now been carried out, reports the company.
Laurence Wormald, director, Bita Plus, says new releases of Bita Risk Engine and back testing tools will be announced imminently.
