Xenomorph Provides Customized Analytics to Global Macro Fund

TimeScape offers fully integrated system for reliable data management and analysis

TriCygnet, a provider of global macro investment, has chosen Xenomorph's data and analytics management suite, TimeScape, to help it manage and analyze global market data quickly, accurately and efficiently. TimeScape best met the fund's requirement for a flexible, robust and scalable solution, capable of managing huge volumes of data and providing in-depth proprietary data analysis. The solution also enables TriCygnet to identify quickly relative pricing, performance, historical and implied volatility trends, all of which results in faster and more accurate analysis, with less time spent acquiring and maintaining data and more time spent devising and implementing investment strategies.

"TimeScape has enabled us to automate and streamline the data capture and storage process. We have replaced the time-consuming, manual data screening process, which involved multiple workbooks and formulae, with a single TimeScape query. What's more, the system is compatible with existing data sources and user applications, so we didn't have to rip and replace technology," said Edward Mirsepahi, CEO of TriCygnet, in a press release. Not only does TimeScape reduce labour-intensive tasks, it also dramatically reduces the operational risk of human error in the investment process.

Naj Alavi, managing director of Xenomorph, added in the release, "A core part of TriCygnet's business hinges on fast and accurate analysis of high volume, high quality data. This is what our software does. TimeScape reduces the time staff spend inputting vast amounts of data into spreadsheets, allowing them to concentrate on data analysis instead. TimeScape enables TriCygnet to plan future strategies, safe in the knowledge that it has the necessary technology to support those strategies as they evolve."

It wasn't all bad luck for the capital markets this week: Hedge funds had a decent first quarter despite a slowdown in jobs numbers, BlackRock might be heading into new territory as hedge fund managers take a hard look at their counterparties, and the head of the IMF didn't pull any punches when assessing today's global economy. At least we can admire the nice weather and some of the best quotes of the week.
