Global Investment Team at Major Asset Manager



The Customer


The Global fund management operation at this institution is one of the most significant players in the actively-managed sector and frequently delivers top quartile performance.

The Challenge


The team covers a universe thousands of individual stocks and at any time the absolute and relative performance of price and fundamentals for each stock may warrant a re-evaluation of the size of holding. Keeping track of this volume of information flow was proving to be a significant time-sink.

The Fractal:Edge Solution


Fractal:Edge products make patterns, trends and outliers clear even when there are tens of thousands of items changing in real time. Following a pilot which demonstrated the power of the technology, we deployed our Fractal:Intelligence software with the main fund managers within the global team.

The Result


The deployment of Fractal:Intelligence has resulted in:
  • Increased capacity to screen information flow on global stocks
  • Improved ability to spot trends across markets and sectors and respond accordingly
  • Better responsiveness and quicker action
 

The Fractal Map shown to the right is a simple map of the Fractal:Edge website. Each circle represents a page in the site starting with the largest, outer circle representing the homepage. If there are further links from that page they will be shown as smaller circles within it.

Fractal Map with the homepage highlightedBy moving your mouse over a circle and "hovering" over it (by keeping the mouse still) for a short time, you will see labels appear to show you the titles of the page you are hovering over (at 12 o'clock) and the pages it is linked to.

Clicking on a circle opens the relevant page in your browser window.

Fractal Map with the homepage highlightedIn addition, the Fractal Map will show a "crumb trail" for the page you are viewing by highlighting the relevant circles in red. The smallest red circle represents the page you are viewing and any "parent" pages higher up in the website structure will also be highlighted red showing you the route you would take to reach the page. Note that the homepage itself is never coloured red in this way.
