With global turbulence making headlines, wealth managers, private bankers and others need a one-stop view of risk more than ever before. it can guide growth.”

Moody's said its screening databases record thousands of risk events and creates risk profiles every day. Monitoring these risk factors requires teams to understand hundreds of data points, each potentially needing further assessment or investigation.

For example, based on 2023 annual totals from Moody’s global datasets, 117 entities per day were added to Moody’s global watchlists with links to direct or indirect sanctions; 286 unique risk profiles (i.e. associated with an individual or entity) per day were added to Moody’s screening database with a fraud-related risk code, and 298 unique risk profiles (i.e. associated with an individual or entity) per day were added to Moody’s screening database with an organised crime-related risk code.

However, a point to consider is that risk factors change constantly. To address this, Moody’s designed Maxsight™.

As Moody’s said at the time of the launch: “Compliance, operational resilience, the potential for reputational harm, and the drive for best practices mean organisations need to be able to identify multiple risks at any one time and actively address issues with some urgency.

“As a result, risk management and mitigation are no longer solely the purview of compliance, KYC, procurement, or senior management. Instead, many teams, departments, and individuals must leverage the same critical risk data to make operational and strategic decisions,” it said.

Moody’s has been working on the offering for five years.
