The firm uses two products available on MSCI’s RiskMetrics platform:

RiskManager for Managed Services reporting, which enables RBSL to receive daily UCITS, AIFMD and custom reports for their clients, as well as for ad-hoc and trouble-shooting risk analysis; and
LiquidityMetrics analytics, which are being incorporated into RBSL’s client reports

“The product offerings from MSCI, a leading service provider in the risk management area, have enabled us to build up a state of the art solution for market risk monitoring under both UCITS and AIFMD regulatory frameworks,” said Slim Hamrouni, Conducting Officer, Head of Risk and Compliance at RBSL. “MSCI’s tools have also allowed us to build a robust operating model to add value to our existing client base that is looking for the highest governance standards. They also allow us to better engage with prospective clients who are looking for an outsourced risk management solution combining the leading practice of MSCI in terms of risk models with the qualitative expertise developed within RBS.”

“RBSL joins a growing list of financial institutions that are using MSCI’s RiskMetrics platform to help them identify, measure, monitor and manage risks as prescribed by the UCITS and AIFM Directives for their extensive client base,” said Kaylash Patel, Executive Director, Product Management at MSCI. “The depth of data and analytics, combined with the high level of flexibility and transparency provided by the RiskMetrics platform, helps support the RBSL risk team in their efforts to manage internal, investor and regulatory requirements. Using LiquidityMetrics, the team at RBSL is able to monitor liquidity risk alongside the core market risk in their investment portfolios.”
