Greater transparency, less effort: RiskRadar enhances risk management at SwissComply
In an increasingly regulated market environment, more asset managers are turning to specialised solutions for risk monitoring. SwissComply AG offers its clients a powerful framework for risk analysis – built on RiskRadar from Arkus FS.
Regulatory authorities today demand independent, transparent, and fully traceable monitoring of all risks in investment portfolios – from market and liquidity risks to concentration risks. For smaller asset managers in particular, meeting these requirements can be challenging: limited resources, heterogeneous infrastructures, and complex data processing often stand in the way of efficient risk oversight.
SwissComply – a leading provider of compliance, risk management, and legal services – recognised early on that traditional approaches were no longer sufficient.
“Our clients need a robust framework for investment risk management, but for many smaller asset managers, building an in-house solution is simply not feasible,” says Magdalena Kinal, Head of the Investment Risk Team at SwissComply.
Last year, SwissComply began searching for a scalable, intelligent, and easily integrated solution – one that could strengthen the investment risk function while providing deeper insights into portfolio analysis. The choice fell on RiskRadar, a web-based platform developed by Arkus FS, a member of Profidata Group. RiskRadar is one of the leading solutions for independent risk and performance monitoring mainly in Europe.
Powerful and audit-proof risk monitoring
RiskRadar enables precise measurement of market and liquidity risks, analysis of portfolio concentrations, and regular stress testing. The software offers both standardised and fully customisable reports as well as multi-dimensional risk assessments.
“With RiskRadar, we enable SwissComply and its clients to elevate their risk management to an institutional level – without infrastructure investments or lengthy implementation phases,” explains Andrea Brevi, Managing Director at Arkus FS. “Equally important, the solution is designed to grow with our clients’ needs.”

RiskRadar is fully multi-tenant, cloud-based, and open to a wide range of interfaces. Thanks to flexible data connectivity, it can process heterogeneous sources and formats – a key requirement for the SwissComply team. Key Risk Indicators (KRIs), alerts, and thresholds can be configured on a role-specific basis, tailored precisely to risk managers or portfolio owners.
From strategy to rollout: Implementation in practice
RiskRadar was implemented in several phases and customised to the specific requirements and investment strategies of SwissComply’s clients. The partnership between Profidata Group and SwissComply delivers a clear strategic advantage: clients gain access to industry-proven, regulatory compliant risk services without the need to develop their own proprietary platform – with high scalability and minimal technical effort on their side.
“Our clients don’t just want to comply with regulations – they want to understand where risks originate and how they impact their portfolios,” says Magdalena Kinal. “RiskRadar provides exactly these insights.”
For Arkus FS, the collaboration is also strategically valuable. Proximity to SwissComply’s clients and direct practical feedback provide important input for RiskRadar’s ongoing development.
“Through this partnership, we receive feedback directly from the market,” says Andrea Brevi. “That helps us deliver even more precise and practice-oriented features.”
Conclusion: A scalable model for modern risk management
The partnership between SwissComply and the Profidata Group is a prime example of a new approach to risk monitoring: modular, scalable and integrative. It enables even smaller asset managers to meet regulatory requirements with confidence.
“Today, our clients expect more from a software solution,” says Nicolas Meier, Head of Sales Switzerland & Liechtenstein at Profidata. “Clients are looking for connected solutions that simplify processes, provide regulatory assurance, and deliver real added value.”
The collaboration with SwissComply demonstrates how these expectations can be turned into tangible results – pragmatic, efficient, and future-focused.
