The Critical Role of Real—Time Risk Management in Hedge Funds

About the company

In an era marked by geopolitical tensions, rapid policy shifts, and volatile markets, hedge funds face unprecedented challenges that make real—time risk management not just beneficial but essential. Events such as the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in early 2023, the ongoing Ukraine conflict, and sudden interest rate hikes by central banks have highlighted the inherent risks in interconnected global markets.

Challenge

Real—time risk management enables hedge funds to respond swiftly to market changes, regulatory requirements, and operational challenges. To navigate this complex landscape, hedge funds must adopt robust, real—time risk management systems that allow them to mitigate risks before they escalate into significant losses.

Solution

The 3Forge platform is designed to handle virtually any data source, capable of processing extremely high data rates and accommodating any periodicity. By integrating data from existing systems, 3forge enables real-time analytics with millions of rows and thousands of columns. The platform facilitates the creation of interactive dashboards and supports workflow management powered by SQL, Python, or other languages. Risk can be monitored using alerts, heatmaps, 3D maps, dynamic tables, charts, and more. Permissions can be controlled down to the window level, ensuring secure and customized access.

Benefits

By integrating with Order Management Systems (OMS) and Execution Management Systems (EMS), 3forge allows firms to monitor order flow per client, country, or exchange in real time.
