The MARS team (Multi Asset Risk System) enables risk professionals to assess and gauge their trading and portfolios holdings against the gathering financial storm.

What would happen to your investments during a political or economic crisis? You may not be able to predict the future but YOU will be able to get ready for it. This is the essence of the Risk Management science and this is what the team task to do.

MARS allow our clients to manage and assess their risk by providing them with different tools like stress-testing functionality which models their portfolios behavior under extreme market conditions. Or trying the predict the future based on the past. MARS is used by both external clients and internal clients across Bloomberg in teams which are interested in using the group's risk functionality along with their own data for their clients.

MARS provides risk calculations and analytics across various asset classes by applying distributed computing techniques that span across hundreds of machines. In addition to expanding our main product offering, our top concern is performance which requires using different methods and technologies to achieve the optimal solution and adding RISK functionality. MARS is using big data software, distributed computing algorithms, dynamic resource allocations, cluster management, grid computing and machine learning among others.
