Research Insight - Risk from Any Altitude: Using the BarraOne Macro Factors - March 2014
Mar 27, 2014
This Research Insight is the first in a series of practitioner-oriented case studies based on typical problems faced by institutional investors. This paper addresses the new 'Macro Factor' feature in BarraOne 3.8.

The BarraOne Macro Factor feature allows investors to have both views: 'zooming out' to the desired level for top level decision making, while retaining the benefits of a granular factor model for the risk analyst or portfolio manager.
