SunGard APT Risk Model Suite: Highlights
January 2011

APT offers its clients over 50 different "blends" of risk models. We have recently added a range of important models including:

  • Global Balanced + Funds models (CHF, USD, EUR, GBP, JPY). These models extend the standard "WorldBonds" model to include over 150,000 differing mutual funds, sicavs and unit trusts.
  • Global Balanced + Commodities (USD, EUR GBP). These models are aimed at clients looking to take on "passive" commodity exposure either through investment in assets which themselves have significant commodity exposure or through allocation to commodity indices. The additional commodity factors within this model significantly improve the explanatory power for such portfolios.
  • Other significant additions to our product suite include a South American equity model (available as a medium and short term model) and our Asia Pacific equity model is now also available as a short term model.

Each of these models is documented in detail in the APT Data Product Manual. If you are interested and would like to know more, please contact your local account manager or email us at ai.solutions@sungard.com.
