HPV Selects DFA Capital Management's Dynamic Risk Modeling and Asset Liability Management Tools

Technology Platform Provides Optimal Asset and Risk Allocation for Pension Funds

DFA Capital Management Inc. (DFA), a leading provider of Enterprise Risk Management solutions to the insurance and financial services industries, announced today that Hamburger Pensionsverwaltung e.G. (HPV), the largest third-party administrator for specialized company pension funds in Germany, will use its risk modeling tools and economic scenario generator for comprehensive asset liability management.

HPV offers a wide variety of products and services related to those specialized pension funds. These include retirement-related services, investment management, as well as accounting and actuarial services.

“HPV felt it should take a proactive approach to improve their risk modeling capabilities for Asset Liability Management and risk allocation,” said Hans Stapelfeldt, Chairman of HPV’s management board.

Lisa Cash, EVP Sales & Marketing for DFA Capital Management noted that HPV was also looking for a sophisticated tool that could model all their assets including private equity, hedge funds and derivatives so they could further develop investment and hedging strategies using the software. “DFA was chosen after an extensive selection process. Key factors that led to HPV’s decision were the sophistication of DFA’s economic scenario generator and the high level of flexibility offered by the software.”

DFA’s unique, scalable technology platform includes ADVISE™, advanced stochastic modeling software and GEMS™, a leading-edge economic scenario generator, that provides companies with the ability to optimize financial decision-making and gain better visibility into unknown risks.

Hans-Joachim Bode, responsible for risk management at Hamburger Pensionsverwaltung said, “We needed a risk modeling tool with which we can model all of our assets and liabilities, not just a portion of them, in an adequately realistic manner so our modeling can support management in their actual decision making.”
