Risk Management

Monitoring

Once a pension fund has made the initial decisions regarding risk allocation and budgeting, it is crucial to monitor the results of this policy continuously. Monitoring and readjustment is a permanent process that a pension fund performs itself, or with the ongoing help from Ortec Finance.

Ortec Finance supports the monitoring of risk and return. With the help of our ALM system and dynamic ALM techniques, pension funds can independently track their funding status and evaluate monthly or quarterly the development of risk and return. A pension fund can either license our software models to generate its own monitor reports, or can outsource this to Ortec Finance.

Solutions

In order to improve their short-term risk management process, Pension Funds can use PALM to produce independent, up-to-date monitor reports on risk/return measures, an outlook for the next period and a comparison with the previous period.


Using PALM (or our advisory service), Pension Funds can perform independent ALM analyses on all policy instruments, including pension scheme, funding, indexation and investments, and take informed management decisions on the integral risk and return trade-offs for their pension plans. Ortec Finance ALM analyses and models address the multi-horizon and multi-view (regulatory, accounting, buy-out, corporate etc) dilemma’s explicitly.
