security selection
Having a clear understanding of the factors that drive equity valuation is extremely beneficial to asset managers. A robust investment process starts with selecting the best securities for a portfolio, then measuring how these securities affect investment objectives, benchmarking, risk/reward, and performance in the portfolio. Securities prices are affected by many factors including fundamentals, market structure, economics, technicals, geo-political events, etc. Spotfire is an enterprise solution that combines numerous columns of categorical and relational data in a single platform where users can dynamically query the variables to determine their impact on performance and value.
Spotfire is able to combine multiple data streams into a single analytic view that you control and interrogate—bringing together, for example, market data from Bloomberg™ or Reuters™, holdings data from Portfolio Accounting™, risk metrics from Barra™, and forecasted alpha from R, etc. From a single session, without submitting a report request to your IT department, you will be able to interact with a series of visual representations of your portfolio holdings on demand. These analytic sessions can be saved and passed to other individuals in your group for further analysis in Spotfire or they can be output to other applications like PowerPoint®, Word, Excel® or Adobe Acrobat® and used in client meetings.
