The Northstar team is very responsive to bespoke requests. Consider this as effective as employing an in-house risk manager. > > **Cons**: No complaints. An enhancement could be to make the product accessible via a mobile app. Or integrate with a CRM software so that customized reports can be efficiently distributed to LPs. ----- ### "Pioneer in Hedge Fund Risk" — 5.0/5 > **Duane** | *24 September 2025* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Northstar thrives on product complexity and provides "check the box" components expected for risk measurement in addition to periodic insights/analysis from \[sensitive content hidden\] a true passionate and very qualified academic and risk practitioner. Most hedge funds required bespoke reporting (versus canned) where Northstar thrives. > > **Cons**: For security, Northstar will whitelist your IP address to access the system. For those with dynamic IP, you will need to contact them to update this. > > Very positive experience with \[sensitive content hidden\] "can do" attitude as well as the broader team's ability to deliver quickly and efficiently. It helps that the team is English-speaking and based in the US and many if not all have previous hedge fund experience. ----- ### "Excellent tool for hedge funds looking to understand both risk and performance." — 5.0/5 > **Stephen** | *17 January 2023* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great support.Great integration.Easy to use. > > **Cons**: None, I really have nothing negative to write. > > We needed a CRO function and Northstar is perfectly that. As a matter of fact it is better than having an internal CRO as Northstar is truly independent. I highly recommend their risk consulting services as well as their risk technology offering. ----- ### "Great risk system" — 5.0/5 > **Emmanuel** | *11 October 2023* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Northstar is a comprehensive risk platform which can help asset managers analyze their risk(s) and PnL attribution. It covers a wide range of asset classes and has the huge benefit of coming with independent data. Coupled to its various risk libraries (covering merger arb as well, which is quite rare), it provides insight into your portfolio risk and can easily be used by all stakeholders within the firm, from PMs to Management and Risk. Contrary to many other risk systems, it is set up so that it can provide an accurate PnL of the portfolio, which means that your PnL attribution is realistic and ties back to the PnL that you get from your GL. The team at Northstar is small but very responsive and capable. The product has already many features available, but if you need something customised, it is possible as well. The GUI is easy to navigate and allows for easy grouping/drilling into the portfolio, including time series analysis of various fields. Overall, a great product which solves a lot of issues that would take a lot of effort to build and maintain internally otherwise. > > **Cons**: Nothing critical, but nice developments for the future would be:- ability to access on mobile devices/web browser- ability for end-user to input data into the app directly (for selected use cases at least)- additional filtering options in the Screens- constituents drill-through sensitivities (without having the full breakdown of indices/ETFs) > > Excellent ----- ### "Robust Risk Platform for Hedge Fund Managers" — 5.0/5 > **Alexander** | *28 June 2019* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. Intuitive design - Easy to use and understand. 2. Detailed reporting - Profit Attribution and Factor Analysis dashboards are highly functional 3. Flexible and customizable - Create your own reports and dashboards 4. Accurate - Data always makes sense 5. Reliable - System has not been down since we implemented it 6. Good integration > > **Cons**: 1. web / iOS / Android app would be a nice feature 2. testing impact of potential trades on overall portfolio risk should be more automated. > > We use Northstar's platfrom daily - it is practical, easy to use, and reliable. The data is presented in a very intuitive and visual way. Northstar has a robust risk engine behind its friendly UX, which precisely monitors risk and performance of our portfolio. It works well on both security level and portfolio level, allowing us to get a great precision on our numbers. This is a day and night difference compared to our previous risk system, a well known product which was overcluttered with useless reports and features and had a simplistic risk engine. We do not see a more compelling product for hedge fund risk management than Northstar. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/136411/northstar-risk-and-performance-analysis-platform?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/136411/northstar-risk-and-performance-analysis-platform) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
