Strategy

Complex risks are volatile and emanate from the market activity of major institutions. Such risks are increasingly being re-insured between insurance and capital markets, and require the depth of knowledge of underlying risks that only a sophisticated risk model can provide.

However, practitioners who deal with such risks on a daily basis tend to manage them piecemeal using spreadsheets that

• require intensive manual effort
• are prone to human error
• are not integrated with established business processes
• are not embedded within the IT infrastructure.

Our strategy promotes a software-based model which facilitates the integrated management of these risks, so that practitioners have better knowledge of underlying exposures prior to capital commitment, and have improved risk controls for timely, accurate and auditable decision making at all times.

Russell also enable practitioners to support a broader range of financial instruments so that they can manage portfolios diversified across insurance and capital markets whilst retaining exposure management control. This strategy is keeping Russell at the forefront of integrated portfolio management solutions despite boundaries in the financial markets becoming increasingly blurred.
