User interface is excellent, configurable and easy to use. Product support is the best in the industry based on my 40 year experience. They provide an up to date product that is head and shoulders above other industry competitors at a very competitive price , so its a great value for the money. > > **Cons**: Security requirement to whitelist your IP when accessing the software - OK if you are using a static IP address network, a bit more cumbersome if you have a random assigned IP (home access) which may change from time to time. > > Excellent experience, \[sensitive content hidden\] is the guru of risk management, and he has used his knowledge, experience and skills to build a quality product, and assembled a great team around him to expand and support the software. They have a client first mentality which carries through their business conduct and all client interactions. The onboarding was managed professionally, and the project was completed within promised time period. ----- ### "Pioneer in Hedge Fund Risk" — 5.0/5 > **Duane** | *24 September 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Northstar thrives on product complexity and provides "check the box" components expected for risk measurement in addition to periodic insights/analysis from \[sensitive content hidden\] a true passionate and very qualified academic and risk practitioner. Most hedge funds required bespoke reporting (versus canned) where Northstar thrives. > > **Cons**: For security, Northstar will whitelist your IP address to access the system. For those with dynamic IP, you will need to contact them to update this. > > Very positive experience with \[sensitive content hidden\] "can do" attitude as well as the broader team's ability to deliver quickly and efficiently. It helps that the team is English-speaking and based in the US and many if not all have previous hedge fund experience. ----- ### "Great product for both internal risk management and investor reporting" — 5.0/5 > **Catherine** | *20 May 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great product for hedge funds looking to manage risk and track performance statistics. The Northstar team is very responsive to bespoke requests. Consider this as effective as employing an in-house risk manager. > > **Cons**: No complaints. An enhancement could be to make the product accessible via a mobile app. Or integrate with a CRM software so that customized reports can be efficiently distributed to LPs. ----- ### "Excellent tool for hedge funds looking to understand both risk and performance." — 5.0/5 > **Stephen** | *17 January 2023* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great support.Great integration.Easy to use. > > **Cons**: None, I really have nothing negative to write. > > We needed a CRO function and Northstar is perfectly that. As a matter of fact it is better than having an internal CRO as Northstar is truly independent. I highly recommend their risk consulting services as well as their risk technology offering. ----- ### "Great risk system" — 5.0/5 > **Emmanuel** | *11 October 2023* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Northstar is a comprehensive risk platform which can help asset managers analyze their risk(s) and PnL attribution. It covers a wide range of asset classes and has the huge benefit of coming with independent data. Coupled to its various risk libraries (covering merger arb as well, which is quite rare), it provides insight into your portfolio risk and can easily be used by all stakeholders within the firm, from PMs to Management and Risk. Contrary to many other risk systems, it is set up so that it can provide an accurate PnL of the portfolio, which means that your PnL attribution is realistic and ties back to the PnL that you get from your GL. The team at Northstar is small but very responsive and capable. The product has already many features available, but if you need something customised, it is possible as well. The GUI is easy to navigate and allows for easy grouping/drilling into the portfolio, including time series analysis of various fields. Overall, a great product which solves a lot of issues that would take a lot of effort to build and maintain internally otherwise. > > **Cons**: Nothing critical, but nice developments for the future would be:- ability to access on mobile devices/web browser- ability for end-user to input data into the app directly (for selected use cases at least)- additional filtering options in the Screens- constituents drill-through sensitivities (without having the full breakdown of indices/ETFs) > > Excellent ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/136411/northstar-risk-and-performance-analysis-platform?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/136411/northstar-risk-and-performance-analysis-platform) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
