Client – Multi-Asset & Macro (MA&M) are in the process of developing strategies that can be used in existing products, decision tools that can help in managing existing portfolio risks, and also the development of new products and solutions that combine both. The desired outcome is to optimize existing products as well as developing additional strategies that seek to exploit non-traditional risk premia such as value, momentum, or carry-based strategies. This work is currently being undertaken by various team members across MA&M. However, the work is generally siloed, manually intensive, and time-consuming, performed in an unstable environment, is not scalable in its current form, and cannot utilize the multiple, large data sets required. Additionally, there is no current resource available to store this data as a time series, which frustrates further avenues of analysis to be done. The situation demanded the need for an integrated platform for data scientists equipped with accelerators and tools to experiment, discover, share, and deliver insights. The xpresso.ai platform brings together best-of-breed tools into one integrated and intuitive platform.
