Tools for enterprise-wide, on-demand risk information

RiskMetrics Group's Web Services turns our industry standard risk capabilities into an integral part of your business processes and decision-making. Clients can use our Web Services to achieve direct access to the RiskServer Analytics Engine via the Internet, providing for coherence and consistency of risk information. 

Clients simply send queries to RiskServer for analysis through a secure connection and receive responses directly into their own software applications. You can seamlessly integrate RiskMetrics Group's hosted best-of-breed data and risk analysis directly into your own applications, data warehouses, spreadsheets, databases and workflows.

Benefits of Web Services

Web Services seamlessly integrates RiskMetrics Group's hosted best-of-breed data and risk analysis directly into your own applications:
  • Generate valuation, sensitivity, and VaR-based statistics simultaneously across multiple portfolios
  • Dynamically define decompositions of analyses
  • Dynamically define and execute stress scenarios
  • Gain access to intermediate results and simulations for exception management, to be directly used by your other risk processes
  • Redistribute normalized market and static data from RiskMetrics
  • Use common identifiers, e.g. ISINS/CUSIPS/SEDOLS, to represent holdings in portfolios whereby the RiskMetrics Group Terms and Conditions Database is used to enrich the information sent
  • Access stored historical analyses for trend reporting
  • Dynamically execute "what-if" simulations by adding new holdings, re-weighting existing allocations, and stressing pre- and post- "what-if" portfolios

With Web Services from RiskMetrics Group, you can rely on secure, accurate and timely measures of risk, accessed on-demand from across the globe.
