Wolfe Risk Factor Models
Next-generation style factors paired with industry-leading analytics
Simplified access to risk management expertise
Goldman Sachs and Wolfe Research are integrating their risk expertise and factor data, now available to institutional investors programmatically or via Goldman Sachs Marquee's intuitive user interface
Next-generation style factors
Next-generation style factors – alongside conventional factors- improve the explanatory power of the models and measure systematic risks that are intuitive to managers
Expanded model coverage
Model coverage of over 45,000 stocks globally helps to eliminate the need for a broad model to cover a small allocation outside the target mandate
Innovation in risk model design
Sector risk models to identify more systematic risk than is visible with broad market models and holding-based factor covariances to predict correlations between today’s factor portfolios, instead of using historical compositions
