Arkus Financial Services

What Arkus Financial Services does

Arkus Financial Services S.A. is a Luxembourg-based, privately-held software and services company founded in 2003 that provides portfolio risk management solutions to European financial institutions. Operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Profidata Group (a diversified software conglomerate headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland), Arkus serves asset managers, capital management companies (KVGs), UCITS fund managers, and compliance/risk consulting firms across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom, with offices in Munsbach and London.

The company's core product is RiskRadar, a web-based, cloud-native risk reporting platform that delivers continuous monitoring, automated workflows, and intuitive dashboards for portfolio risk management. RiskRadar provides regulatory reporting for UCITS and AIFMD frameworks, liquidity analyses, stress testing, and SRI calculations, with data quality validation against Bloomberg and Refinitiv market data sources. The platform is ISAE 3000-certified and compliant with ESMA guidelines 10-788 and 34-1985693317-1160. Beyond RiskRadar, Arkus distributes and supports the broader Profidata product ecosystem, including the XENTIS investment management platform (front-to-back portfolio, fund, and risk administration) and the Prisma family (Prisma Analysis, Prisma Order, and the newly launched Prisma PM). The company also offers Risk Management outsourcing, OTC Valuation services, Shadow Accounting services, and an Investment Fund Taxation-as-a-Service solution (IFTaaS) operated with KPMG Deutschland on ISAE 3402 Type 2 certified cloud infrastructure.

Revenue is generated through subscription-based licensing for the RiskRadar software and professional services engagements covering consulting, implementation, OTC valuation, and ongoing risk advisory. Pricing is quote-driven and not publicly disclosed, with annual billing cadences indicated and the go-to-market organized as consultation-based enterprise field sales targeting financial institutions. Strategic partnerships with SwissComply (reseller channel), KPMG Deutschland (tax-fund accounting), RAQUEST (withholding tax reclaim), and abraxas/FundLine-S (ELTIF 2.0 fund management) extend the product surface and distribution reach; approximately 85 billion EUR in assets are reported under monitoring across 200,000 daily valued positions, with a claimed 100% implementation success rate.
