Driven by regulators, rating agencies, or a demand for best practices in investment solution design, asset allocation, and risk management, asset managers and investment advisers are facing ever greater requirements for modeling capabilities. Built around our economic research and scenario modeling capabilities, our analytic solutions enable asset managers to build better investment solutions, where the measurement and management of risk depends on client-specific cash flows and liabilities. A flexible modeling framework provides coverage of a comprehensive range of assets, client liabilities, and risk management strategies.

Modeling options allow clients complete control and transparency into the economic assumptions embedded in their investment processes by blending their own, in-house economic views into Moody's Analytics fully documented "best views" model calibrations. Our modeling framework supports all elements of the investment process, allowing clients to exploit their specialist investment expertise consistently throughout the investment design and advisory process.
