  Moody’s KMV Wins Risk Magazine's Capital Allocation Award

Moody's KMV was the recipient of the Capital Allocation Award in the credit risk category at the sixth annual Risk Awards Dinner in London on February 2. The award was based on the results of a survey of more than 350 users of risk-based software products.

Respondents were asked to nominate firms for offerings in credit risk, front- to back-office systems, market risk, operational risk, trading analytics, and trading systems. The criteria they used were functionality, usability, and reliability.

The 2005 Risk Awards Dinner marks the first time that the publication has honored technology providers.
