StatPro Group Plc is a provider of asset valuation services and portfolio analysis solutions for the global asset management industry. Set up in 1994 by Chief Executive Justin Wheatley, the company's investment products stem from specialisation in financial data and analysis solutions for risk management, fixed income analysis, performance measurement and attribution analysis, GIPS compliance and analytics reporting (SER). StatPro Chairman Carl Bacon, appointed in 2000, was a co-founder of GIPS.
In May 2000, Justin Wheatley took StatPro to IPO, raising over £5 million. Three years later, on June 16, 2003, the company transferred to the Alternative Investment Market (AIM),[3]
StatPro's client base includes clients in twenty-five countries. The company has ten offices internationally, and, since 1999, recurring annualised revenue has increased from less than £1 million to £31.6 million in 2009.[1]

StatPro Research
As part of StatPro's ongoing research aims, experts within the company continue to publish various practical and specialist industry articles, books and whitepapers.
Market Liquidity Risk
A highly specialist whitepaper on traditional problems of Liquidity Risk Models. The data needed for calibrating these models is only available for liquid instruments, trading on a regular basis and for which books of bid/ask and volumes are available.
Hybrid VaR - a new measure of risk
A whitepaper focusing on the significant failures in backtesting and the pro-cyclicality of VaR.[4]
Fixed Income Attribution
Before the publication of Fixed Income Attribution in 2005, there was very little information available on this mathematical topic. A comprehensive, theoretical and practical text written by Dr Andrew Colin, it discusses a wide range of issues surrounding attribution, the practical limitations of its calculation and the various systems designed to aid the calculation. It includes examples and advice for industry practitioners.[5]
Practical Portfolio Performance Measurement and Attribution
Written by Carl Bacon and published in 2004, the book is an introduction and guide to performance measurement.[6]
