How do I capture local factor diversification with a global model without losing the aggregated view of global allocation of my fund?
How can I – someone in firm-wide risk management – arrive at the same risk numbers as my portfolio manager?
How do I achieve factor granularity at the regional level across my entire global portfolio?

“The art is in the combination of these models, where we can effectively recognize that banks in the US are not perfectly correlated with banks outside the US, or that value in the US may perform differently than value in emerging markets.”
Melissa Brown, Head of Applied Research at Qontigo. Waters Technology, December 2020
