Do You Really Know
Your Portfolio?
For stock portfolios, you need style, sector and geographic exposures. Top risk exposures and stock weights are critical. You need forecast risk measures – like predicted tracking error, volatility and beta. And you need to know if future returns of your stock funds will be correlated or not. That’s why you need Risk Lens.
Know Your Portfolio – Use Risk Lens
Risk Lens is an analytics tool that shows active style, sector and geographic exposures for stock funds. It shows top risk exposures and stock weights. It shows forecast risk measures and predicts fund return correlations.
For illustrative purposes only.
Use Risk Lens to know your stock portfolio and diversify. Align stock risk with your client’s risk level. It’s web-based, easy to use and continuously enhanced with popular new features. And it’s free.
“Risk Lens is a useful tool for quickly evaluating a fund’s historical exposures and management style. The style factor exposures are very helpful, as are the active correlation statistics, as a starting point in determining complementary funds.”

Find Complements and Substitutes
Our risk model forecasts critical stock portfolio risk measures. Risk Lens is an extension of our model. In 2013, we developed the calculation of predicted active return correlation, which shows complementary and substitute funds. This forecasts correlation between two funds to avoid overlap and help ensure diversification. It also shows if substitute funds – used to replace funds for tax loss harvesting, high fees, etc. – are predicted to be highly correlated.
We crunch funds’ historical returns to their style, country, sector and currency exposures to forecast correlations from –1 to +1, ranging from exact opposite correlation to no correlation to exact correlation.
For illustrative purposes only.
“We use it for underlying portfolio exposures and manager comparisons. We have primarily used it to identify complementary managers from a style standpoint.”
Anonymous
We know that our risk model and formula for predicted active return correlation can help advisers build portfolios. Risk Lens looks forward – many other tools don’t. They focus on historical not forecast risk measures. They don’t show predicted fund correlations. Or they’re too expensive.
Risk Lens Is Holdings-Based and Forward-Looking
We look at current fund holdings to calculate forecast risk measures and help predict fund return correlations. Most other tools are returns-based and tell you a fund’s past risk exposure. We forecast a fund’s future risk. You would have to pay thousands of dollars to get this holdings-based analysis from other institutional tools. With Risk Lens, you get it free.

Don’t Other Tools Do This?
Risk Lens looks forward – many other tools don’t. They focus on historical not forecast risk measures. They don’t show predicted fund correlations. Or they’re too expensive.
