CognityFoF is being used at Tarchon to support manager screening and selection, factor analysis, portfolio level risk decomposition, dynamic backtesting, downside risk optimization, stress testing and crisis simulation.

Yannis Vasatis, Partner and Head of Risk & Quantitative Research, commented, "We strongly believe that advanced quantitative techniques can add value to our structured investment process. CognityFoF is the only risk platform that offers the openness and flexibility to rigorously test and control every analytic calculation. This complete analytic transparency allows us to confidently interpret and present the resulting analysis."

Cognity is the only solution to comprehensively combine fat-tailed and skewed asset return distributions with maximally informative downside risk measures throughout the entire investment process. "With Cognity, we can actively manage our extreme downside risk. We've been delighted by the system's flexibility, ease of implementation, comprehensive system documentation and high quality technical support," added Vasatis.

FinAnalytica's CEO, R. Douglas Martin, commented, "We are delighted that such an outstanding team of quantitative risk professionals have selected Cognity as their first choice in risk management and portfolio construction. FinAnalytica strongly believes that a "glass box" approach to post-modern risk management and portfolio construction, providing full transparency of all of our analytic portfolio methods, is the only way to serve our client's needs. Openness and transparency are at the core of our corporate ethos and it is great to see the market validating our approach so conclusively."
