“The digital lending and investing market is developing rapidly around the world, with it comes heightened requirements for investor protection and risk modeling”, Dr Howard Radley, CEO of Radley Associates explains. “We’re excited to work together with Crowd Valley employing advanced technology for risk modeling in the real estate sector, to generate sophisticated metrics for assessing credit and market risk for loans and understanding volatility for direct investors.”
“We are bringing together best-in-class integrated tools to simulate cash flows and risk exposures on loans or individual properties and portfolios. By utilizing Big Data and Monte Carlo analysis investors will, for example, be able to understand changes to both returns and the volatility of leveraging assets”.
Powerful but simple to use through an intuitive interface these tools offer users the ability to compare real estate investments with other asset classes such as bonds and equities. Investors will also be able to understand where their portfolios have correlated or concentration risks as well as the ability to understand foreign exchange risk and the impact of derivatives and hedging strategies. The alliance between Crowd Valley and Radley makes available analysis previously only accessible to a few quants at Wall Street investment banks to all online investors.
Radley’s Big Data simulation tools are now accessible through the Crowd Valley Digital Back Office so that powerful insights are now easily available to peer-to-peer lenders, real estate crowd-funders and the digital investment market for the first time.
“We’re thrilled that our clients working in property markets, from Los Angeles and San Francisco, New York and London, all the way to Singapore and Hong Kong, will be able to benefit from world leading expert modeling and risk assessment” explains Crowd Valley CEO Markus Lampinen. “Together with Radley Associates, we are also working on streamlining integrated services to be able to provide world leading risk modules to new audiences, in order to properly protect investors as well as build sustainable operational business models.”
