NORWALK, Conn., and FRANKFURT, Germany, September 9, 2021 - FactSet (NYSE:FDS) (NASDAQ:FDS), a global provider of integrated financial information, analytical applications, and industry-leading service, announced that following a comprehensive tender process, Ampega Asset Management, the Asset Manager of Talanx Group, selected and implemented FactSet’s Fixed Income Performance Attribution across its front and middle office. Ampega will use FactSet to monitor and decompose its portfolio benchmark’s relative performance against a series of fixed income attribution factors.
With FactSet’s offering, Ampega can now analyze performance attribution for its multi-currency insurance and re-insurance investment mandates across country, sector, rating, and horizon factors, creating highly customized reports for their clients. This flexibility to customize reports using approved and validated data also delivers value to Ampega’s portfolio managers by streamlining both internal and external reporting.
FactSet’s tools are source-agnostic and complement Ampega’s existing investment management and risk management solutions.
“FactSet rounds off our existing capabilities to analyze the critical success factors of our fixed income investment performance,” said Dr. Dirk Erdmann, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Ampega. “We look forward to having the ability to isolate interest rate and credit spread components, which is an enhancement. FactSet was a competent and engaged partner during the implementation project and displayed a mutual sense of ownership to help us meet our project goals.”
