Clients of Jacobi, including asset managers, wealth managers, consultants and asset owners, will now have access to Axioma’s equity and multi-asset class factor risk models and portfolio optimiser to better visualise portfolio risk, inform portfolio construction decisions and ultimately bolster their portfolio return objectives.

With the integration, investment managers now have seamless access to point-in-time and time series risk analytics for factor-based decomposition across equity and multi-asset class portfolios – all in one workflow integrated solution. In line with Jacobi’s’ unique, forward-looking portfolio construction capability, platform users will benefit from deep historical datasets, as well as bespoke forward-looking analysis, across a range of different scenarios and stress events.

With crisper and more intuitive visualisation, the integration will also strengthen stakeholder engagement and enable clear communication of risk sources and impact to end clients. This meets the growing demand from wealth and asset managers — as well as asset owners, trustees and consultants — for more detailed and timely risk reporting, particularly during market and geopolitical events.
