New York, NY – February 25, 2011 – RiskONE announced today that it is providing enterprise-level portfolio risk management technology, personnel and advisory services to meet proposed SEC reporting requirements for hedge fund managers. RiskONE is offering these services in conjunction with Risk Resources, an industry leading risk management advisor and reporting solution.

RiskONE comprehensively addresses issues raised by the SEC n its proposed Rule 204(b)-1 under the Investment Advisers Act which requires investment advisers to report systemic risk information to the SEC on Form PF. Under proposed SEC Rule 204(b)-1, large fund managers with more than $1 billion in assets under management will have heightened annual reporting obligations including exposures by asset class, geographical concentration, and turnover. In addition, for each managed fund having a net asset value of at least $500 million, advisors will be obligated to report certain information relating to that fund’s investments, leverage, risk profile, and liquidity. Fund managers would also have to file quarterly reports on risk profiles. “We believe our solution is at the forefront of future reporting requirements and will help to provide the additional transparency that both investors and regulators are demanding” said Dan Connell, President of RiskONE
