George Washington University Selects Caissa's Portfolio Navigator Solution for Risk Management

NEW YORK, May 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Caissa, LLC, a leading software firm dedicated to providing risk and portfolio management solutions to institutional investors, today announced that George Washington University has selected Portfolio Navigator for the university's endowment.

Portfolio Navigator, a web-based application, introduces a unique method of harmonizing various forms of manager transparency reporting, ranging from positions to exposures. The funds' positions and exposures are seamlessly aggregated, offering investors a holistic view of portfolio exposures, spanning across the entire spectrum of investment vehicles including long-only, private equity, and hedge funds.

Narges Zamani, Risk Manager and Managing Director of George Washington University's endowment, said "After reviewing a variety of risk management solutions, we selected Caissa's Portfolio Navigator because it successfully streamlined the aggregation of manager positions and exposures across all our investment vehicles, ranging from separately managed accounts to private equity funds. Portfolio Navigator's ability to accommodate varying degrees of transparency, slice and dice the portfolio across multiple dimensions and to conduct position/exposure-based stress testing strengthens our risk management capabilities."

"We are proud to have been selected as the software solution that best met the portfolio and risk management needs of George Washington University's sophisticated investment team. The onboarding process was completed with ease and the ongoing maintenance simplified through establishing feeds with the endowment's administrator. We look forward to collaborating with GWU's experienced investment team as we continue to build new features and analytics for institutional investors," said Susan Pinter, COO of Caissa, LLC.
