BNP Paribas Launches New Investment Analytics Tool for Pension Funds

BNP Paribas Securities Services has launched a new solution called the Asset and Liability Investment Analytics (ALIA) solution designed to support pension funds and fiduciary manager’s liability-driven investment strategies.

The ALIA solution supports the investment processes for pension funds by analysing risk under various economic scenarios, portfolio construction, analysis of sensitivities in light of liquidity needs, and monitoring risk.

The ALIA solution is part of the bank’s Data Navigation and Analysis suite of performance and risk management tools, which provide an interactive interface for its clients to manage data on their assets.

“The emergence of liability-based strategies is probably one of the most significant developments in pension funds investment in recent years. Understanding investment risk and exposure to asset and liability mismatches is crucial for pension funds,” says Dietmar Roessler, head of Asset Owner Client segment at BNP Paribas Securities Services.

“With our new range of analytics, our clients can not only monitor their assets and liabilities after the fact, but can also manage their asset allocation across asset classes including credit, property, equity and currency.”
