VANDA FOR CIOs

See where consensus has become portfolio risk.

A cross-asset view of positioning, macro risk and market pressure points for the people accountable for the whole book.

The risks that matter most at portfolio level are not always the exposures you chose deliberately. They can emerge when the same position, macro assumption or source of return becomes crowded across the market. Vanda helps CIOs and asset allocators see where consensus is already expressed, where exposures may be more correlated than they appear, and where the market setup could become vulnerable.

Where is the book exposed to a position everyone else also holds?

CIOsAllocating risk across the whole book, answerable for it.

The questions CIOs need answered.

Vanda helps CIOs see the risks that are difficult to identify from individual positions alone. A consistent view of positioning, flows and macro conditions across the portfolio makes it easier to spot concentration, hidden correlations and emerging pressure points before they become obvious in market prices.
  1. 01

    Where is the portfolio crowded?

    Compare positioning across equities, rates, FX and commodities to identify where consensus has become concentration.

  2. 02

    Which risks are really the same trade?

    Look across asset classes and investor groups to identify exposures that may behave together when the market is stressed.

  3. 03

    Is the macro backdrop reinforcing or challenging the allocation?

    Connect portfolio positioning with macro, capital-flow and regime signals to understand where the prevailing narrative may be changing.

  4. 04

    What could force the market to reprice?

    Identify crowded positions, shifting flows and upcoming catalysts that could turn a stable allocation into a tactical risk.

  5. 05

    Where does the portfolio need an independent challenge?

    Pressure-test investment assumptions with Vanda strategists using evidence from positioning, flow and macro data rather than another consensus view.

Use structured macro and capital-flow data alongside independent macro analysis to understand regime shifts and their implications across the allocation.

Through Vanda Analytics, clients can move from cross-asset signals to the underlying data, related research and the market context behind the read.

The Vanda solutions most relevant to CIOs.

    VandaXasset is the primary cross-asset positioning layer. VandaMacro adds structured macro and capital-flow data. VandaTrack can provide an additional lens on US equity retail behavior where that signal is relevant to the portfolio.

  • Insights

    Vanda Macro Intelligence provides the macro and regime view. Vanda Tactical Strategy translates positioning, flows and catalysts into tactical cross-asset implications. AI Monitors help clients interrogate the Vanda data and research available within their subscription.

  • Advisory

    Vanda Macro Intelligence IB Chat and Vanda Tactical Strategy IB Chat provide direct access to the relevant strategists for live questions. Bespoke Risk Calls provide a deeper, portfolio-specific forum when the question requires more than a chat window.


Individualized insight when the portfolio question is specific.

Not every CIO question fits a published research note or standard dashboard. Vanda Advisory allows clients to bring a live portfolio question directly to the analysts and strategists covering the relevant market. The team can draw together positioning, flow, macro evidence and current research to provide a bespoke answer around the exposure, hedge, catalyst or decision in front of the client.
