Webinar: Total Risk Awareness: Factors, Themes, and Beyond with Axioma Next Gen Models

In this session, Omega Point and SimCorp Axioma unpack how Axioma Worldwide 5.1 (WW5.1) and Omega Point’s Thematic Management platform work together to deliver total risk awareness, separating durable factor exposures from transient themes and hidden correlations. We introduce the next-gen model suite by Axioma, including sentiment and non-linear effects, an updated industry structure, and the new Comparable Company Specific Covariance (CCSC) library that surfaces real-world, sub-industry linkages previously buried in “stock-specific” noise. We also show how Omega Point augments WW5.1 by mapping idiosyncratic return to thematic drivers—quantifying betas, strength, and factor returns for themes like policy, tariffs, cyclicals/defensives, and positioning. Together, the integration refines the residual, boosts explanatory power, and enables more precise portfolio construction, hedging, and attribution—without double-counting what the factor model already explains.
