Investor Analytics’ cloud based SaaS service will be swiftly integrated with StatPro Revolution, adding its 50+ clients including hedge funds, funds of funds, pension funds, endowments, money markets and asset managers to StatPro’s 450 clients to make more than 500 clients worldwide. Investor Analytics’ capabilities in Monte Carlo simulation, variance/covariance risk and factor modeling, once combined with StatPro’s historical simulation risk model & wide pricing capacity, will offer a complete suite of models for the risk requirements of any asset manager. Damian Handzy, founder and CEO of Investor Analytics, joins StatPro as the Global Head of Risk and has been appointed to the StatPro Group Executive Board.

The combination of the two products means that we now have a full-fledged, multi-model risk service, offering cutting-edge factor and option-based models, with coverage of any asset class. This best-in-class risk service will be made available in a short time to all our StatPro Revolution clients. During 2016, we will also add a new transactional performance engine and workflow, making StatPro Revolution the first SaaS platform that integrates leading transactional and buy-hold performance analytics with top-notch risk management and compliance.”

“We are delighted to welcome Damian Handzy and his team to StatPro. Damian’s vision for his product aligns perfectly with our vision for StatPro Revolution. Our respective products complement each other perfectly and the combination will be greater than the sum of the parts,” said Justin Wheatley, Chief Executive of StatPro Group.

Damian Handzy, CEO of Investor Analytics, said “We are excited to join StatPro, as our services, technologies and cultures fit together seamlessly. Our clients will immediately benefit from the combination of StatPro Revolution’s best in class performance measurement with IA’s comprehensive risk analysis. Together, we will offer the premier cloud-based performance and risk solution to the investment management industry and I look forward to working with Justin and Dario on bringing ever more valuable services to market.”
