Gaining insight that provides a competitive advantage is key for asset management and investment professionals, particularly in today’s interconnected, fast-paced global environment, where quickly identifying investment opportunities and risks can be the difference between success and failure. Whether you’re assessing investment and portfolio risk, implementing quantitative trading strategies, or managing regulatory needs, access to quality third-party data and sophisticated analytical tools, can help give you an edge.
Creating a structure that supports a consistent view of investment opportunities and risks, from the front office to the back, fosters collaboration and drives more efficient and timely analysis and decisioning. Bringing third-party data into your systems and processes can give you a more complete picture of the risks and rewards of a particular investing decision quickly, so you can stay ahead of market movements and your competition.
Create portfolios with the appropriate levels of risk. To help achieve your goals, implement trading strategies and monitor your portfolios for early signs of opportunity, or deterioration. Access to ratings, scores and news alerts can provide the insights to make these investment decisions quickly and confidently.
Integrate data feeds into trading and proprietary applications. Improve collaboration across your firm and generate investing ideas more quickly, by deploying technologies and tools to access data, improve analytical efficiency and identify risks.
Implement a robust risk management process. Use information such as covenant data, ownership links, and ESG scores to enhance your view of risk.
