Risk Management Tool

Risk Management Tool

Thuso has a distinct advantage when making investment management decisions. Our system is a proprietary-developed risk management and oversight application. Developed on a back-end system based on industry leading SQL and a front-end application based on the Microsoft suite of products.

Our Reporting Tool covers custom views and categories, and is backed by years of private markets data that includes past and present deals, as well as fund performances across multiple vintages. It allows us to do industry and sector analysis, which is fundamental in performing an enhanced assessment and analysis of value propositions.
