First State Super has added MSCI’s risk management and performance attribution platform BarraOne to its portfolio, which it says will give more options for institutional investors.

First State Super chief investment Richard Brandweiner said First State uses a number of MSCI’s tools and have been impressed with the quality of its products which led to it adding BarraOne.

“During the selection process we spent a considerable amount of time with a number of providers as well as their current users,” said Mr Brandweiner.

“This was to ensure we selected a high-quality product we can understand and extract a considerable amount of value from,” he said.

 
 

MSCI explained BarraOne provides integrated risk and performance analytics with global, multi-asset class coverage for public and private asset portfolios.

First State Super said its investment team will use BarraOne to run regular risk analysis across the portfolio to help validate where the various risks are.
