Sycomore Asset Management Selects Panopticon to Monitor Risk

Sycomore Asset Management will use Panopticon's Heatmaps, Treemaps and other information visualizations to monitor risk, performance and other parameters for its funds.

Sycomore Asset Management has selected Panopticon Software's data visualization technology, as a key toolset to help monitor risk and other critical parameters in its portfolios.

Sycomore Asset Management is an independent management company founded in July 2001 that is is well known among French institutional investors for its long lasting expertise in listed Euro equities. It has approximately 2 Billion Euros under management.

Jerome Tordo, founding partner and Managing Director of Sycomore Asset Management, said in a release, "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."

Sycomore has licensed Panopticon data visualization software to enable its fund managers to monitor performance and risk metrics for individual equities as well as aggregated data for model portfolios, actual portfolios and the market as a whole. 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.

Technologies + Finance, Panopticon's partner in France, coordinated the deployment of the software within the Sycomore Asset Management facility and trained users on how to get the most out of the system.

Willem De Geer, CEO at Panopticon Software, said in a release: "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."
