Fund Manager Adds Data Visualization for Risk Management
Sycomore Asset Management has licensed Panopticon data visualization software to enable its fund managers to monitor performance and risk metrics. The software will be used for individual equities as well as aggregated data for model portfolios, actual portfolios and the market as a whole. Sycomore has 2 billion euros under management.
Panopticon's data visualization technology will complement traditional presentation formats on the analysts' desktops. Panopticon will allow the fund managers to view all records in very large data sets at the same time and also easily see and understand hierarchies and groups in the data.
In a company release Jerome Tordo, founding partner and Managing Director of Sycomore Asset Management, says, "The new Panopticon visualizations will enable our fund managers to quickly view and comprehend large amounts of data and help them understand the relationships in the data for comparative analysis. We made a thorough survey of our alternatives and selected Panopticon due to its very intuitive display of data and the ease of integration."
In the release, Willem De Geer, CEO at Panopticon Software, says, "Visualization for advanced analytics is a growing market area for us and Sycomore is a very good example of how Panopticon technology can be added to systems our clients are already using. It helps them facilitate and improve their workflows and increases the value and ROI on previous IT and business intelligence investments."
