Virtu Financial (NASDAQ: VIRT) has announced its decision to integrate InvestorLink bespoke risk management platform to better manage small and micro-cap securities. These securities often present unique challenges, including heightened volatility, lower liquidity, and increased susceptibility to market anomalies. Predicting and understanding these risks can be complex and requires in-depth analysis of dense information filings.
Also, InvestorLink has developed a tool that provides real-time data to help market participants navigate these complexities. The platform allows financial institutions to detect irregularities, manage exposures proactively, and promote compliance with regulatory standards. This expansion of risk management capabilities is particularly on small and micro-cap securities, which are typically harder to monitor and manage.
