The new offering comes on the heels of an expansion of Investor Analytics\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 research team, enabling  faster deployment of new and future advances in risk management and portfolio management.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">  \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cInvestor Analytics is committed to staying at the forefront of the field,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d said Damian Handzy, Chairman and CEO.&nbsp; \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cWe accomplish this through our own original research, our relationships with  academic researchers, and our ongoing review of published research results.&nbsp; Our financial engineers are uniquely qualified to understand, vet and implement those ideas that are both useful  and practical,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d said Mr. Handzy.&nbsp; \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cRisk management tools will continue to advance in the coming years, and Investor Analytics will ensure that they meet the growing needs of institutional  investors like pension funds and endowments,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">  The risk measures available in Investor Analytics\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 services now include Expected Shortfall, which goes beyond the industry standard Value-at-Risk (VaR) measure and predicts how much the assets  might actually lose by examining worst-case losses in greater detail.&nbsp; \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cIn other words, while VaR helps determine a portfolio\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s risk, Expected Shortfall goes further to assess what the  expected loss may actually be \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 a far more meaningful piece of information for traders and portfolio managers,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d said Mr. Handzy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">  The emergence of risk management as a rigorous field of academic study at major universities has led to several breakthroughs in ways to determine market risk and expected losses, with many  practical applications for hedge funds.&nbsp; With its growing research arm, Investor Analytics is well positioned to study and apply these advances and, by doing so, to raise the bar in risk  services for the alternative investment industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">  <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">  <strong>About Investor Analytics LLC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">  Investor Analytics LLC provides portfolio and risk management services to leading hedge funds and funds of funds.&nbsp;
