Risk management

Risk management

Insight has pioneered the development and delivery of high-quality risk management solutions to the global institutional market. These are built upon our market-leading fixed income and derivative overlay expertise.

We manage over $1 trillion1 in derivative overlay mandates for clients. These mandates help manage pre-existing risk and gain synthetic exposures across currency, equity, credit, interest rate and inflation markets. They can also be applied to tactical asset allocation overlays and asset rebalancing.

Our success is evidenced through the advocacy of consultants, industry bodies and our clients. We are recognised for portfolio management, risk control, solution design and our partnership with clients to develop their strategies.

Adding value through overlays

We have been managing custom derivative overlay programs since 2005. Our solutions cover risk factors across rates, equity, credit, inflation and currency, and can be executed as full hedges or as tail-risk strategies.
