Quoniam Asset Management Taps Axioma Risk to Replace Barclays Point

Frankfurt-based Quoniam will adopt the Axioma Risk platform independently from the proprietary risk models the firm utilizes in its portfolio construction process, integrating the solution alongside its existing use of Axioma’s optimization and portfolio tools, replacing the Point platform.

Barclays Point was acquired by Bloomberg as part of the Barclays’ Risk Analytics and Index Solutions (Brais) offering in August last year. Bloomberg announced it would only be supporting Point for 18 months upon completion of the deal and is integrating the Point IP in Port, it’s multi-asset portfolio risk and analytics tool.

“We have a long and successful relationship with Axioma and this was an important factor in selecting Axioma Risk,” said Ingo Purwien, COO at Quoniam. “However, it’s not the only reason we decided to extend our relationship. After an exhaustive review of the market, Axioma Risk was best suited to our needs in terms of functionality and flexibility.”
