The fundamental building block of our evaluation of risk is the use of statistical simulation models to measure the range of possible scenarios and their likelihood. We quantify the risks and use our risk quantification to compare alternative actions and in conjunction with our client, define a set of financial objectives. These are explicitly compared and their merits weighed against each other. We take a rational approach to decision making. We do not believe the “cheapest solution” (usually short term view) is always the best for our clients. We arrange balanced transactions where both buyer and seller understand the pricing components in the context of the risk. Our transparent approach to compensation eliminates conflicts that are often created by the way financial incentives are offered by counterparties.
