Key Benefits of Using Venn for a TPA
An Intuitive Factor Lens
Venn's Factor Lens distills portfolio risk into 18 academically grounded factors, not hundreds. Like a nutritional label, it captures the most fundamental exposures across all asset classes, focusing on what matters most for decision-making.
A Returns-Based Approach
Traditional total portfolio analysis often requires holdings data, which is unavailable for opaque investments like hedge funds. Venn needs only returns, removing a major barrier and making implementation seamless.
Purpose-Built Private Asset Analytics
A true Total Portfolio Approach can't stop at liquid assets. Venn is purpose-built to analyze private and public investments side-by-side.
A Total Portfolio Platform
A TPA shouldn't require a system overhaul. Venn was designed around holistic portfolio analysis from day one, integrating total portfolio insights into familiar workflows across due diligence, portfolio construction, and reporting.
