RIDGEFIELD, Conn. (HedgeWorld.com)–Trident Point Capital LLC has added a new service to the consultant side of its business, Total Risk Optimization, which it calls an "efficient frontier analysis" that will manage both active and passive risks.
The managing director of Trident, Michael Rudnicki, said that some investors use hedge funds to hedge passive risks, others to hedge active risks and that both sorts tend to rely on a one-sided analysis or, at best, upon analyses that take the active and the passive side into account sequentially rather than simultaneously.
But Trident's proprietary system, Total Risk Optimization, will change all this. "It takes the [analytical] pieces that are out there in the market and combines them into one step," he said.
