Richard Acela, senior systems analyst at LVAM, commented: "SunGard's APT will help us gain greater control of our risk management processes and better understand the sources of risk that we are exposed to - both at the fund and aggregated level. The flexibility of the solution's risk attribution model allows us to investigate portfolio exposure to a choice of over 450 explanatory factors, rather than a static series of pre-packaged factors. SunGard's APT complements our existing enterprise data management system, providing additional data to help us gain effective risk control.
