Since 1998, RisQuant has been a boutique consulting firm that has provided risk management services to the power sector. As our name suggests, we focus on risk quantification and management. We have served our clients by providing regular reporting, much as an internal analysis department might. We have also provided trading advice and ad hoc analytic services.

With the release of Weather Metrics and Power Nominals, we have entered the information services segment of the power sector.

What is RisQuant's core competency? RisQuant's core skill has been to quantitatively measure power values and volatility, and then to apply those measurements to real world portfolio management problems. RisQuant has developed a deep understanding of the power markets and the risk factors that drive them. We also have an intimate understanding of how those markets affect the elements of a power portfolio, whether financial or physical. We also well understand how those elements combine into a portfolio.

What sort of clients has RisQuant served? For the most part, we have maintained a low profile, focusing our efforts on small participants in the power markets. Our clients have included:

• Power Marketers
• Retail Power Suppliers
• Power Coops
• Genco/Merchants
• Hedge Funds
