Barra has released BarraOne 1.4 for the Asian market. The latest version of its web-based risk analysis tool is aimed at fund managers, risk managers and plan sponsors, providing what Barra calls “an intuitive, consistent analysis for domestic as well as global, multi-asset class portfolios.”
“A global model that does not consider … detail in each local market is unmistakably missing real influences on security returns, and therefore is less accurate in predicting portfolio risk and its sources,” says Olivier d’Assier, vice president of Asia/Pacific sales at Barra. “Armed with more accurate and more complete information, asset managers can make better investment decisions and produce more consistent returns for their clients.”
