Service of Portfolio Analysis

The service is designed for evaluation of broker’s client portfolios containing stock and derivatives market instruments* and is based on several evaluation approaches.
At present, the service is mainly based on ‘costs of risk’ evaluation (Value at Risk, VaR).
* The calculation is available only for assets traded on the Moscow Exchange.

Operating principle

The service is available for all broker clients that have the corresponding rights.

  1. A broker’s client requests a portfolio analysis report from their QUIK Workstation.
  2. The QUIK server receives the request and forwards it to the computational core via the Report Generation Module. The server forwards only a portfolio without any parameters which may reveal clients’ personal data.
  3. The calculations are made by a software product of the QORT line in ARQA Technologies’ data center. ARQA Technologies receives and stores data needed for portfolio analysis.
  4. The calculated data is uploaded to the Report generation module.
  5. The completed report of portfolio analysis is sent to the client via the broker’s QUIK server.
