Combined offering equips institutional investors with quant-enabled insights to better control risk in the face of an increasingly turbulent, macro-driven investment landscape

Quant Insight, the macro-economic insights provider, today announces a major new partnership with Omega Point, a provider of portfolio tools and services for the institutional investment community, marking its first significant expansion in US markets.

The partnership will offer Omega Point users access to Qi’s rigorous macro analytics technology via Omega Point’s intuitive web interface and all-inclusive API. This enables users to quickly and easily discover specific macro factors driving asset prices, analyse their impact on portfolio holdings, and design and implement targeted mitigation solutions.

Qi macro analytics adds a new level of transparency across the macro landscape, allowing users to determine the aggregate macro exposure of a portfolio and uncover macro risks and opportunities, thus gaining unprecedented control over the investment portfolios under their management.

Spanning stocks, ETFs, equity indices, FX, commodities, rates and cryptocurrencies, Qi macro analytics provide asset impact insights from inflation expectations, real GDP growth, monetary policy shifts, big moves in energy prices, and other related forces as they emerge.

Omer Cedar, CEO for Omega Point, comments:

“When it comes to macro factor analytics, Quant Insight is an industry innovator. Asset managers are grappling with inflation, rising rates, and central bank actions, and if they can’t quantitatively isolate the underlying impact of major macro forces on their portfolios, they are operating with a huge blind spot. This oversight can put hard-earned gains at risk or leave gaping opportunities for enhanced returns”.

“Qi is a key addition to Omega Point’s ecosystem of information services providers, technology partners, and brokers, and enhances coverage of the risk landscape for our clients.”

Mahmood Noorani, CEO for Quant Insight, comments:

“Identifying major regime shifts, macro drivers impacting asset prices, and flagging portfolio risks are invaluable assets to fundamental investors.

“Our scientifically proven technology ingests, cleans and processes high quality, high frequency macro data and transforms it into actionable knowledge fed directly into the Omega Point platform. This helps portfolio managers deal with the torrent of subjective macro information generated by news, headlines, emails, tweets and more that soak up their time but lack both clarity and rigor.

“Our growing client base of institutional investors and world-renowned hedge funds and asset managers have been universally positive, and we are pleased to extend this offering to

Omega Point customers. “Historically, datasets such as ours have primarily been made available to technical users. With Omega Point, they’ve made our data accessible to the rest of the investment team”. Quant insight’s AI-based financial market brain, RETINA, uses state of the art machine learning technology, which has been developed in collaboration with world leaders in machine learning and signal extraction from Cambridge, Harvard, and Princeton, in addition to best-in-class data engineers. RETINA reduces millions of data points into two to five essential daily insights, and is currently being used by institutional clients, with total Assets Under Management (AUM) of over $2.5 trillion, who incorporate Qi macro analytics in their investment process.”
