Performance Risk Advisors

Performance Risk Advisors provides outsourced risk management and performance enhancement solutions to the investment management industry. PRA’s outsourced risk management provides emerging firms with customized risk reporting and analysis and serves as a separate set of eyes for established firms. We specialize in monitoring risk and performance across multiple metrics to better identify sources of risk and whether they are being properly compensated. Performance enhancement solutions build on quantitative insights from risk assessment and attribution analysis to include a complete review of a team’s personnel, resources, process, risk management and portfolio construction. These engagements can be relatively brief or can include working alongside a team for longer periods to help identify and implement performance enhancement opportunities. Founder Kent Baur’s 25 years of investment experience runs a gamut of traditional fundamental equity, quantitative hedge funds and multi-asset portfolios, and includes nearly every element of the investment process from fundamental analysis to risk management and portfolio construction. His background as a plan sponsor, consultant and investment manager provides him with a unique understanding of the institutional investment business and he has used this knowledge and passion for markets to build, improve or restructure several businesses.
