“Opportunities and Risks always exist. The question is if you can see them right now.”
Our Story
RiskAlpha was founded with a single mission: to get rid of excel. Well funny enough, that's about the origin story... But it turned into building far more than that: a feature-rich forecasting tool for traders and funds.
RiskAlpha today combines data, research, and clear statistical interpretations and target zones for assets. Forecasts have multiple predictions combined into a single alpha score: Those can include macro data, technical analysis, discretionary views and seasonality. You can build forecast and auto-backtested models for regions, sectors, stocks and basically any dataset you want to explore statistical correlations with!
