The integration of RiskMetrics into Eikon, performed natively using RiskMetrics’ API, will help portfolio managers who use the terminal to construct portfolios, monitor the impact of market movements on their portfolios—for example, to ensure risk levels remain compliant with their investment guidelines—and perform stress testing and scenario analysis.

Eikon already includes portfolio analytics and Thomson Reuters’ own equity risk models, though this is the first time that RiskMetrics’ data and risk models have been available via Eikon.

“Adding MSCI adds multi-asset risk analytics and a very flexible stress testing to a broad set of asset classes,” says Mahesh Narayan, head of portfolio management and research at Thomson Reuters. “This is… about the level of demand for RiskMetrics risk models and stress testing among our customers. This has consistently been a very important ask from our clients.”
