Stephen Baker, UK Head of SD, comments: “Our rich combination of analytics, wide asset coverage, proven technology and unrivalled risk management tools empower fund managers to manage market risk and hedge exposures of client portfolios. The unique cross-asset capabilities mean that they can get a view of their entire portfolio at the click of a button.”
