Prior to this expanded partnership, Marquee's institutional client base had access to select capabilities of Axioma's Risk Models and Optimizer. Now, clients can take advantage of Qontigo's extensive optimization features and an expanded suite of Axioma risk models seamlessly integrated in their investment platform.  

"Offering our clients best-in-class solutions that enable them to measure day-to-day changes in risk and understand how these affect their portfolios is a strategic focus for us. Embedding the Axioma suite of Equity Factor Risk Models, including the new and timely Axioma US Trading Horizon Model, into our ecosystem will provide our clients with insights into their drivers of risk and return. Coupling this with the robust Optimizer will help them implement investment decisions more efficiently," said Anne Marie Darling, Head of Marquee Client Strategy & Distribution at Goldman Sachs.

With increased flexibility, clients can test investment strategies, construct or rebalance portfolios and hedge risk using the Axioma Portfolio Optimizer. The optimizer can handle a wide range of scenarios and constraints from simple factor tilts and index tracking to complex strategies with risk or other considerations. The Axioma Equity Factor Risk Models provide comprehensive insights into drivers of portfolio risk and return across multiple geographies and time horizons with deep historical coverage. The suite includes fundamental variants with style factor coverage for risk and performance attribution, as well as statistical variants for portfolio construction insights.

"We are thrilled to expand this strategic partnership with Goldman Sachs to make it easier for clients to manage their investment process with added confidence backed by accurate risk and portfolio analytics," said Chris Sturhahn, Chief Product Officer for Analytics at Qontigo.

The Axioma Equity Factor Risk Models are available via Goldman Sachs' flexible portfolio analytics ecosystem - programmatically through its Financial Cloud for Data APIs and open-source Python toolkit, GS Quant, as well as the Marquee web interface. The Axioma Portfolio Optimizer is accessible programmatically via APIs, initially available in the US.
