We are experts on the risk of private assets. We analyze investments, run stress tests, and forecast returns for both direct investments and funds. Our analysis is quick and requires minimal setup.
We focus exclusively on private and illiquid investments—not public markets. Our models capture risk dynamics others miss.
Whether you're allocating to private equity funds, direct deals, or both—we deliver a unified view of your portfolio risk.
Just describe your investments in a quick template. We handle the complexity—no lengthy onboarding required.
We not only calculate risk at the company, fund, and portfolio level but also project Net Asset Values and cashflows — enabling you to assess the probability of achieving a positive Internal Rate of Return by the end of the investment's life.

Company Name | Net Asset Value | Risk due to Market Fluctuations | Total Risk |
---|---|---|---|
TechInnovate Solutions | 7.5 | 2.2 | 4.0 |
HealthCare Dynamics | 18.0 | 4.0 | 6.5 |

Total risk represents the combination of market risk and idiosyncratic risk. The idiosyncratic component captures company-specific factors not explained by market movements. All dollar amounts are presented in millions. Risk figures were based on a 3-month horizon with a 95% confidence level.
Our stress testing proactively identifies portfolio vulnerabilities and extreme events by anticipating a diverse range of extreme yet realistic scenarios, offering deeper insights beyond standard risk metrics.

Note: Stress test was performed on a representative sample of 100 funds typically held by institutional investors.
Stress scenarios assume 6-month shock conditions.
IRR is calculated using full simulation of future cashflows including initial NAV.
By identifying and analyzing the economic and financial factors that drive worst-case scenarios—often referred to as tail events—we gain deeper insights into potential vulnerabilities within our portfolios.
This proactive approach allows us to anticipate extreme but plausible risks, facilitating the timely implementation of targeted hedging and risk mitigation strategies.
