Fundo SA: financial risk manager
Fundo SA's core business is to manage the risk inherent to every investment and allocation decision for institutional investors, mainly pension funds. It has hired a team of highly specialized engineers to develop a range of tools, derived from GARCH models, to anticipate big changes in market volatility, which are most of the time periods of great trouble and losses for investors.
We implement Risk Overlay strategies for global institutional portfolios in order to maintain the volatility close to the client's risk budget. We can also work on a segregated part of a client's portfolio, utilizing our models to decide how and when to change its allocation to track the pre-defined risk budget.
The highly efficient IT tools that we have developed can also be made available to our clients, through reporting and investment controlling services.
In addition to its risk management services, Fundo has also decided to help match the interests of pension funds with people in the developing world who do not have access to financial services. In 2006, with the motto "making sense of your money", Fundo launched a microfinance investment fund, Finethic, which counts amongst its investors some very renowned Swiss and European pension funds.
