Will You Be Left Behind?

As the market evolves, financial data sets—and the demand for them—only grows larger.
Data sets are enormously expensive and getting them into a useable format can take months.
Nobody’s beating
their index.
Over the last 10 years,
roughly 95% of active
equity managers have not
beaten the corresponding
passive indices.
Teams can’t
collaborate.
From Compustat to the
Federal Reserve, licensed
financial data sets are not
compatible with each
other, not ready for use,
and not easy to access.
Quants are
wasting their time.
Almost every firm buying
financial data runs into a
bottleneck—getting it into
a format that can be easily
manipulated to create
value.

4. An Expert’s Opinion.
According to David Blackwell, former
head of client analytics at UBS Wealth
Management, nearly 70% of analysts’
time is spent cleansing and preparing
raw data sets for analysis.
This leaves only 30% for the work
that actually drives alpha: gleaning
insights and analyzing larger trends
to shape a financial strategy.

CASE STUDY:
BUY-SIDE ASSET
MANAGER
Immediately
scalable with a
single source of
truth.
Client Background
A buy-side asset manager with $750 billion in assets under management
(AUM)—whose antiquated tools and technology, and decentralized
organizational structure led to an inability to keep up with changes in the
marketplace.
Challenges
Data was being pulled from multiple disparate data sources by multiple
teams, creating inconsistencies in output. Additionally, the client’s engineers’,
quants’, and portfolio managers’ duties were significantly hindered by their
existing siloed research workflows.
Elsen nPlatform Impact
In short order—the Elsen nPlatform was deployed on the client’s private
cloud allowing all users—data scientists, engineers, quant analytics, and
portfolio managers—to get up and running on the platform in less than two
weeks using the same concordant data.

CASE STUDY:
SYSTEMATIC HEDGE
FUND
Alternative data
in days—not
months.
Client Background
A systematic hedge fund with over $10 billion in AUM had a core quant team
with deep technology expertise.
Challenges
Integrating and testing an alternative dataset took the client on average 2-5
months using all of their technology teams—they needed to drastically
shorten that time period.
Elsen nPlatform Impact
The Elsen nPlatform reduced the time to integrate alternative data sets from
2-5 months to 1-3 days. The use of the web application provided the client’s
non-technical staff a ‘quick-and-easy’ method to upload data—automatically
handling historical point-in-time mapping in typically under an hour.
Additionally, the client was able to utilize the data profiler to easily profile,
QA, and validate their alternative data in just minutes. When the client
validated the data as valuable, the team was then able to integrate the data
in less than 2 days.

CASE STUDY:
SPECIALTY HEDGE FUND
Discovering new
ways to generate
alpha by
incorporating AI.
Client Background
A startup hedge fund wanted to offer streamlined investment management
services using artificial intelligence and evolutive learning techniques.
Challenges
The client suffered from an inability to generate strong investment results for
their customers due to being unable to remove human biases from their
processes. Additionally, they wanted to be able to lower fees while
generating greater returns for investors without increasing the size of their
team.
Elsen nPlatform Impact
Elsen nPlatform’s intuitive user interface allowed the client to streamline and
automate operations, and quickly start building and testing models. They
were able to utilize a rules-based workflow to remove the human bias from
the decision-making process, and exceed their benchmarks. With the ability
to quickly run tests on massive data sets, the Elsen nPlatform made the
client’s workflow highly repeatable, thus scalable.

CASE STUDY:
REFINITIV
1st commercial
product built
with the Elsen
nPlatform.
Client Background
Refinitiv, formerly Thomson Reuters, had a very slow product development
cycle. Also, the client did not have a competitive investment research
product for ‘quantamentals’ to compete in the market.
Challenges
The client did not have a clear path to build and deploy an investment
research product quickly using in-house resources although the QA Point
concept was prioritized as a ‘must have’.
Elsen nPlatform Impact
Elsen partnered with Refinitiv to build QA Point powered by Elsen—a cloud-
based product with a simple point-and-click interface using concordant
Refinitiv data—creating a single source of truth for investment hypothesis
creation/iteration and factor testing/backtesting. QA Point was rolled out
globally ahead of schedule to hundred of users.
