# Lineup & Risk: see what each manager really adds

Do you know what each manager adds, and what it costs you in risk? Lineup & Risk shows it on one screen, in the terms your board uses. [Try the platform](/try) to see a sample lineup.

## Your whole lineup on one screen
The Lineup Lab sets every manager against your policy bands. See each sleeve's weight next to its target and its range. Set a risk budget, add your own views and plan the funding. Want fewer managers? Set a cap and see who drops out. See what that does to your risk before you make a call. It all fits on one screen, so the talk at the board table is short and clear.

## See what managers own together
Look through each fund to the stocks it holds. See which names two or more of your managers own. See how much of the whole fund sits in each name. Two managers can buy the same big stocks and charge you twice for it. Here that overlap is easy to spot, and easy to show your board.

## Catch style drift early
A manager says it buys small value stocks. Is that still true? Its monthly returns are lined up against big and small, value and growth. You see its real style mix and how well that mix fits. You see what it added on top of style. A three-year view shows drift as it starts, not after a bad year.

## Factor models you can explain
Factor models show where the fund's ups and downs come from. Is it the market, a style, a sector or one big stock? See each manager's share of risk next to its share of the money. A manager with 8% of the assets may carry 19% of the risk. Compare each one by active share, tracking error and the information ratio. Then see what added to results and what took away.

## Tests with no hindsight
A back-test is only fair if it uses what was known on each day. Here every test reads the data as it stood at the time, with no peeking ahead. See insider buys and sells, and what big funds held in their public filings. Rates, yields, inflation and the economy all carry their dates. So a test of your policy shows what you could really have done.

## Retirement plan fees, side by side
Do you advise a retirement plan? Pull its fees from its public filings. See them next to plans of the same size and type. Show the plan's board where it pays more than its peers, and by how much. It is a quick win in the first meeting, and it shows the board you did the homework.

## Test a crash before it comes
Type in a shock, like stocks down 20%. Or replay a past crash on today's lineup. See the total return, the worst month and the deepest drop. Do it before the board meeting, not after the market moves. Then you can walk in with an answer when someone asks what could go wrong.

## Private funds count too
Private fund returns look smooth, and they come in late. That hides real risk. Risk proxies clean up the smooth returns and find the market risk that shows up later. Each number is marked as a risk estimate. It is never used as a value, and it is never a reason to trade. Your private funds now sit in the same risk picture as the rest.
