What Synaptic Risk helps you to do
Find clients’ attitude to risk
The 12-question psychometric questionnaire is designed to align to the Moody’s risk model. Available in 1-5 and 1-10 formats, it assists in determining clients’ propensity for risk.
Compare ratings
The funds and portfolios of over 70 asset managers are risk mapped to the Moody’s risk framework. Risk is rated on a 1-5 and 1-10 basis to match your firm’s investment strategy.
Choose your investment strategy
Synaptic’s investment strategy tool enables investment profiling within the Moody’s risk framework. This helps you to identify a risk and reward framework, based on optimum asset allocation, and to better quantify and match risk to a client’s capacity for loss.
