NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- PortfolioScience, a leading provider of on-demand risk management systems, has released a new set of analytics aimed at energy derivatives. Working with Stamford, CT-based Harbour Square Capital Management, a hedge fund focusing on natural gas trading, PortfolioScience has developed Volatility-Adjusted Futures, a new set of quantitative analytics enabling traders to more accurately forecast the exposure of positions and portfolios.

"Our risk management system incorporates the Volatility-Adjusted Historical Simulation VaR developed by PortfolioScience with the assistance of Harbour Square.
