Our showcase provides portfolio managers and quantitative traders with:

  • White papers that validate the alpha in data and independently prove vendor research white papers
  • Functioning backtesting algorithms that allow quantitative analysts to see backtesting logic
  • Quantitative experts who discuss the use of datasets
  • Access to the institutional grade Mariner™ backtesting and visualization tools used by professional quantitative portfolio managers

The Difficulties Of Dataset Onboarding

The industry knows that the onboarding a new data set is a difficult process. There are numerous problems that include*:

  • Data not compatible with current data analysis systems
  • Can’t find the correct resource
  • Lack of time
  • Difficulty understanding the data’s value
  • Human Capital not available
  • Management not convinced of the value
  • Prohibitively High Fees

For those in the trading industry, we have additional problems that include:

  • Difficulty symbology mapping.
  • Dealing with point-in-time changes to symbol changes.
  • Correlating time series data correctly.
