About BlackSwan
BlackSwan is an asset allocation and risk management platform from FINARTIS. Providing a range of built-in risk-related analyses, including volatility analysis, allocation analysis, metric analysis, and Monte Carlo models, the solution helps users avoid extreme events through accurate distributions and cutting-edge quantitative risk metrics. BlackSwan provides superior accuracy by using non- Gaussian distributions that help optimize asset mix in times of uncertain investment environments.

@RISK
From the financial to the scientific, anyone who faces uncertainty in their quantitative analyses can benefit from @RISK. @RISK helps both Fortune 100 companies and private consultancies paint a realistic picture of possible scenarios. This allows businesses to not only buffer risks, but also identify and exploit opportunities for growth. @RISK (pronounced “at risk”) is an add-in to Microsoft Excel that lets you analyze risk using Monte Carlo simulation. @RISK shows you virtually all possible outcomes for any situation—and tells you how likely they are to occur. This means you can judge which risks to take on and which ones to avoid—critical insight in today’s uncertain world.

ForecastThis
Years of applied machine learning research in collaboration with finance and related industries has led us to push the envelope in robust forecasting and risk optimization. Both in terms of technology and data science process. Despite continued advances in AI, we advocate caution towards "one-size-fits-all" forecasting technologies. Rather, we produce bespoke solutions which excel in the context they were created for. We do this by drawing upon proven principles in a variety of disciplines, including: signal processing, information theory, evolutionary algorithms, deep neural networks and ensemble learning... always underpinned by rigorous traditional statistics and data science. As standard our methods output probability distributions describing every possible combination of outcomes, permitting holistic risk analyses and the quantification of rare or "black swan" events.

ModelRisk
ModelRisk is a Monte Carlo simulation Excel add-in that allows the user to include uncertainty in their spreadsheet models. ModelRisk has been the innovation leader in the marketplace since 2009, being the first to introduce many technical Monte Carlo method features that make risk models easier to build, easier to audit and test, and more precisely match the problems you face. A ModelRisk user replaces uncertain values within their Excel model with special ModelRisk quantitative probability distribution functions that describe the uncertainty about those values. ModelRisk then uses Monte Carlo simulation to automatically generate thousands of possible scenarios. In the same way that Excel is used for many different types of analysis, ModelRisk is used to assess the uncertainty in the numbers produced by the Excel model. Users have performed risks analyses with ModelRisk in a vast range of fields.

Dynamo Software
Dynamo Software is the leading end-to-end, AI-powered platform for alternative investment management, centralizing and automating front-to-back-office operations for both General Partners and Limited Partners. Trusted by 1,000+ global clients managing more than $10T in AUM, Dynamo replaces point-tool ssprawl with one secure platform. Dynamo v3.0 delivers an intelligent, intelligent interface built for investment professionals, with Blueprint pre-configured hubs, layouts, and reports that accelerate onboarding and adoption.
For General Partners, Dynamo unifies CRM, deal sourcing, fundraising, investor relations, portfolio monitoring, and cloud-native fund accounting on a single data foundation. Engagement scoring surfaces high-intent LPs to shorten fundraising cycles, while digital onboarding with e-signature, KYC orchestration, and ongoing AML monitoring accelerates closes and strengthens compliance from first contact. A white-label Investor Portal automates capital calls, distributions, and tax document delivery, and 70+ audit-ready reports aligned to US GAAP, ILPA, and Invest Europe keep financials and investor communications consistent.
For Limited Partners, Dynamo consolidates research, diligence, and multi-asset portfolio management into a single source of truth. Analyst evaluations, IDD and ODD notes, and manager pipelines live in one searchable environment. Performance analysis at the investment, asset class, or total portfolio level supports confident allocation decisions. HoldingsInsight enriches holdings data to reveal look-through exposure by sector, region, currency, and country of risk, and cash flow modeling and what-if scenarios turn reactive reporting into proactive oversight.
DynamoAI is natively embedded across both experiences. It does not sit on top of your investment data, it operates from within it. Purpose-built agents categorize and tag records, convert PPMs, pitch decks, and capital call notices into structured data, surface relationship intelligence, flag performance anomalies early, and draft screening memos, IC memos, and quarterly reports for review. Teams ask questions in plain language and get answers backed by source records. Firms can also bring their own AI through Dynamo MCP connectors, reaching Dynamo data directly with the same permissions and the same audit trail.
