The aim is to simplify analysis by giving clear signals as to where to find the alpha.

How do you get your data?

Data is uploaded into our database using proprietary software and delivered in near real-time to quant clients. Usually, it is around 1,000 trades per day.
Regulatory reports are tracked in real-time ensuring that we know where and when transactions are reported in every market. We use proprietary software to categorise and analyse the metadata before passing it to the appropriate analyst to process.
While processing requires manual oversight by skilled analysts, much of the production and QA process is automated to ensure data is of the highest quality.

How do you process data?
