Risk Fundamentals has been designed to solve the major challenges facing hedge funds by addressing the industry's needs for holistic risk management software and improved investor transparency.

“Holistic risk management software” is software that takes a comprehensive view of risk, considering both compensated risks (the risks such as volatility, leverage, and liquidity risks for which investors are rewarded) and uncompensated risks (the risks such as counterparty, valuation, and fraud risks for which investors are not rewarded).

“Improved investor transparency” is a new model of hedge fund investor reporting that gives investors insightful statistical analysis on their constituent funds. This reporting, which spans all asset classes, instruments, and strategies, is delivered in an aggregatable framework that allows investors to see for the first time how individual funds fit into a portfolio of alternative and traditional investments.

Risk Fundamentals takes it claim to be a holistic transparency system seriously. To see just how seriously, compare the measurements supported by Risk Fundamentals to those of the system's competitors:
