      Who We Are

      Equarius Risk Analytics is a data platform AI/ML company focused on financial risk analysis in portfolios with holdings exposed to water/climate risk.

       

      Our index platform provides mainstream financial risk metrics capturing embedded water risk through a volatility risk premium. Our patent-pending learning algorithms were developed with The University of Michigan (UM) and LimnoTech, an environmental services firm. Equarius Risk Analytics has secured an all fields of use license from UM.

       

      Our quantitative analytics and finance team is focused on understanding the impact of water and weather risks on equities in the capital markets. Our data platforms are used to structure indices to integrate water risk in active and passive portfolios, and to inform corporate water risk management.
