Rebalance and attribute risk inside the budget.

Optimal rebalancing plus full risk attribution inside a hard latency budget — at universe sizes where standard optimizers stall. The decision isn't useful if it arrives after the moment to act has passed. PRISM returns an optimal rebalance, a factor/specific risk breakdown, and an audit trail — well under a second, across tens of thousands of holdings.

The window is the budget. Scale is the problem.

A rebalance you can't explain is a liability, and one that misses the latency budget is just history. The job is to return the optimal trades and the risk attribution together, inside the budget, at a universe size where standard optimizers stall — not to pick one of the three.

01 · The problem

The right trade and the reason for it, before the moment passes.

Real-time portfolio decisions carry two demands at once: produce the optimal rebalance, and produce the risk attribution that justifies it — both inside a latency budget set by the desk, not the solver. A great rebalance with no risk breakdown can't be signed off; a fast number that arrives after the window is closed can't be acted on.

Now scale it. At tens of thousands of holdings, the universe itself becomes the obstacle: the work grows faster than the book, and standard optimizers stall exactly where the decision matters most. The constraint is doing all of it — optimal, attributed, auditable — at scale, in time.

02 · Why it's hard

Optimal, attributed, and auditable — at scale, on a clock.

Any one of these is routine. All of them together, at universe scale, inside a latency budget, is where conventional approaches run out of road.

Scale is the obstacle

At tens of thousands of holdings the universe grows faster than the book, and standard optimizers stall where it matters most.

Trades and risk, together

The rebalance and its factor/specific attribution have to come out of the same run, not a slow second pass that arrives too late to use.

The budget is hard

"Well under a second" is the spec, not the aspiration. A decision outside the latency budget is a decision you can't take.

03 · How PRISM fits

A black box with a clean contract.

You bring positions, targets, your risk view, and a latency budget; PRISM returns the trades, the attribution, and the audit trail — inside it. The methods are proprietary; the interface is simple.

Inputs
  • Positions & targets
  • Your risk view
  • Cost assumptions
  • Hard latency budget
PRISM
Real-time optimization core

One engine, a hard budget, deterministic.

Outputs
  • Optimal rebalance
  • Factor / specific risk breakdown
  • Returned in well under a second
  • Content-hashed audit trail
04 · The evidence

Demonstrated on a real 75,000-asset dataset.

Demonstrated results on the dataset described — not a guarantee. Comparators are referred to generically as conventional / standard solvers.

05 · What you get

Built to be signed off, not just run.

Sub-second at scale — an answer inside the latency budget at universe sizes where standard optimizers stall.
Attribution included — a factor/specific risk breakdown out of the same run, not a slow second pass.
Uses your risk view — keep the risk model you trust; upgrade the engine that acts on it.
Auditable — a content-hashed, reproducible trail with every decision, for review and compliance.
Deterministic — same inputs, same answer; re-derivable for any after-the-fact check.
REST API + SDK — slots into your decisioning pipeline without a per-seat solver license.

Your universe. Your budget. We'll return all three.

A matched-workload pilot on your holdings, risk view, costs, and latency budget — a pass/fail metric you set before we start, every losing case shown.
