Risk and Performance
Understand Risk, Explain Performance, and Evaluate Index Outcomes
SciX index clients benefit from live equity portfolio analytics that make risk, performance and the consequences of index-design choices transparent before and after implementation.
Key Risks and Performance Analytics
Analyze factor, sector and macroeconomic exposures using a consistent framework designed to reveal the sources of portfolio risk.
Break down performance through fundamental factor, sector or currency models to understand what has driven realized returns.
Identify contributors to specific risk and unexplained performance at portfolio, instrument and security level, with tools designed to distinguish signal from noise.
Measure diversification through risk contributions and assess extreme losses using advanced statistical analysis and conditional simulations.
Test alternative portfolios and benchmarks, place realized outcomes in context and project beyond the historical sample through long-term multi-factor simulations.
Challenges We Help You Solve
Do You Understand What Is Driving Index Risk?
Tracking error alone does not explain where portfolio risk comes from. SciX analytics decompose factor, sector, macroeconomic and specific risks so clients can understand the exposures created by an index methodology or customization choice.
Can You Explain Performance Beyond Headline Returns?..
Simple benchmark comparisons provide only part of the picture. Factor, sector and currency attribution help explain realized performance and identify drivers that might otherwise remain hidden...
Are You Separating Persistent Exposures From Noise?…..
Granular analysis and confidence intervals help distinguish meaningful exposures and performance drivers from effects that may be statistically uncertain or specific to individual securities...
What Could Have Happened Beyond the Realized Sample?..
Historical backtests provide only one observed path. What-if analysis and conditional and unconditional simulations help clients assess index behavior across a broader range of potential market environments.
What Are the Consequences of a Design Change?..
Changing an objective, constraint or benchmark can affect exposures, diversification, tracking error and expected portfolio behavior. Live analytics allow SciX clients to evaluate these consequences as index specifications are developed and refined.

How Analytics Support Index Design and Oversigh
Analyze the Starting Point
Assess the reference benchmark, existing portfolio or proposed index across risk and performance dimensions to establish a transparent analytical baseline.
Test Index Design Choices
Adjust objectives, constraints or portfolio specifications and compare before-and-after results to see how proposed changes affect exposures, diversification, tracking error and other financial characteristics.
Backtest, Simulate and Monitor
Compare the index with benchmarks or relevant reference portfolios, run backtests and simulations, and use the same transparent analytical framework to support implementation and ongoing client oversight.
