Data is everywhere in financial services, but that doesn’t mean it's easy to use that data to create value – even for large investment management firms.
Tune in for a discussion with Point Focal on how it uniquely approaches this challenge. You’ll hear how it creates actionable analytics with alternative data sets, such as off-exchange analytics and crowd-sourced earnings estimates.
This also includes a conversation about what kind of tooling asset managers use, how Point Focal built a portfolio analytics innovation stack and implemented IEX Cloud into their data pipeline, and how that stack transforms data into meaningful insights.
