LaBranche Institutional Execution Group amp PortfolioScience Launch...

The Labranche Institutional Execution Group, a leading execution and clearing firm, has teamed up with Portfolio Science, a leading risk management service provider, to deliver a unique pre-trade exposure analysis tool for its institutional clients. The LaBranche Pre-Trade Risk Tool allows buy-side firms to quantify the exposure of buy and sell orders and to measure the potential market risk associated with the trade execution process.



Using the Portfolio Science RiskAPI platform, the LaBranche Pre-Trade Risk Tool generates a wide range of exposure calculations on clients's buy and sell orders. Users can isolate indexes, ETFs, or single stocks that could most affect their positions as well as market sector and industry concentrations which their orders may be exposed to. A wide range of risk calculations are available, such as Value At Risk, volatility, correlation, and beta. Additionally, liquidity alerts are provided, notifying clients of orders that may result in excess risk due to low volume or large size.



There is a great deal of value that is added by applying proven risk analysis technology to order execution, said Ittai Korin, Founder and President of Portfolio Science. The ability to measure and quantify the exposure of outstanding orders is crucial to clients, especially in a volatile market environment.



RiskAPI provides an easily deployable, flexible, efficient and cost effective solution for funds that incorporate risk management as a cornerstone of their investment strategy. The applications of the platform can provide strategic forward projection data for fund CFOs, portfolio managers and traders, added Richard Fremont, Vice President of LaBranche Financial Service'ss Institutional Execution Group.
