The Challenge

The investment management industry is shifting- leading funds are combining human intelligence with data driven decisions, achieving phenomenal results. As more funds use machine learning techniques to enhance performance, data science isn’t “nice to have” for capturing alpha, it’s essential to avoid an informational disadvantage; accelerating the demand for skilled data scientists to manipulate financial data and implement solutions. They’re a scarce commodity, command hefty salaries and often move firms, taking experience and IP with them. Starting internal operations is time-consuming, scaling harder still. Additionally, it’s difficult for PMs and DS to cooperate, as they rarely speak the same language.

The Solution

Auquan is the portfolio manager’s data science platform – we enable you to reinforce your existing investment decisions with data driven insights. Solutions are across the entire investment workflow, and depending on where you are in adopting data science, Auquan can help in three stages:

Getting you comfortable with using data: we combine, gather and prepare data to give you access to newer datasets you’re not even currently looking at
Finding patterns and relationships in these datasets to draw alpha insights that feed into investment process
Assisting you to make better decisions through forward looking, predictive models
