ClariFI Releases ModelStation v4.0 Featuring Event Study for Portfolio Management

New version provides investment managers with an expanded platform that bridges qualitative and quantitative needs

ClariFI, a Standard & Poor's Capital IQ business and provider of software and services focused exclusively on providing investment managers with complete solutions to their research and production workflows, has rolled out ModelStation v4.0. This new version introduces Event Study, an industry-first event analysis tool designed to help clients determine the impact of discrete events on future returns. With its intuitive graphical interface, extensive data integration capabilities, and dynamic charting features, Event Study delivers the flexibility and scalability needed for investors to understand the impact of both qualitative and quantitative information such as news, analyst estimates, and company-level fundamental changes.

"Event Study offers invaluable insight into the effects of qualitative, macro, and quantitative variables and enables users to test event-driven strategies in real-world conditions resulting in better-informed decisions," said Gioel Molinari, ClariFI's founder and managing director, in a press release. "This new functionality expands ModelStation's capabilities to benefit traditional investment managers as well as the more quantitatively oriented. We believe that ModelStation should address the continuum of investment management styles and the growing need to unite the fundamental and quantitative worlds," he added.

At least we can admire the nice weather and some of the best quotes of the week.
