How RiskModels works — and the proof behind it

Start with the methodology — the full derivation behind every decomposition we publish. Then explore the working papers, the concept glossary, and how to build on the API.

Methodology· Technical Note RM-2026-01

The RiskModels Hierarchical Factor Model

The regression cascade, orthogonalization, Huber–Vasicek beta estimation, hedge-ratio construction, and the variance identity — the math behind market, sector, subsector, and residual layers. Validated, not asserted.
