How are disruptive technologies reshaping investor expectations, expanding the frontiers of innovation, and unlocking new, untapped markets? A recent PwC survey of 250+ asset managers and institutional investors highlights key trends (link in first comment): 🔸“𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙧𝙪𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮 𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭: 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥, 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩-𝘯𝘦𝘵-𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩-𝘴𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘴-𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵.” 🔸“𝘿𝙖𝙩𝙖 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧: 60% 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.” 🔸“𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙚𝙨: 𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩-𝘦𝘯𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢-𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵, 𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.

Decarbonizing portfolios has become a major challenge for most asset managers. In a recent study published by a team of experts at BNP Paribas Asset Management, they have analyzed two strategies to align portfolios with net zero targets: the Net Zero Achieving, Aligned, Aligning (NZ:AAA) screens, and the Paris Aligned Benchmarks (PAB). The first framework (NZ:AAA) is based on a forward-looking approach while the latter (PAB) is a rule-based approach that focuses on an immediate carbon reduction. In this context, Asset Managers face multiple challenges: 🔸Digest increasing amount of data while navigating between ESG and financial data, historical and prospective data 🔸Analyze actual investment positions as well as investable universes in a single investment cockpit 🔸Implement successful strategies and construct well diversified portfolios while managing client expectations Curious about how StarQube can help to overcome these challenges? 🔹A NoSQL Point-in-time EDM to analyse and manipulate large volumes of data, easily handling historical and prospective data which can be revised multiple times 🔹A Research Management environment that combines investment positions with investable universes to develop & test bespoke decarbonation strategies 🔹An integrated Conic Optimizer to implement complex investment strategies that combine decarbonation objectives with financial constraints And this is just the beginning… Reach out to know more! #Innovation #Finance #Fintech

Active ETFs business continues to thrive❗ This time is Robeco who has entered the market with the launch of 4 data-driven active ETFs. The appetite of a new generation of investors for this kind of investment product is a big driver for capturing new asset inflows. The good news is that the launch of ETFs is increasingly accessible to asset managers: 🤝 New services: third-party providers are now offering credible solutions for the structuring, listing and market making of ETFs, which are not the asset managers’ core business. 🎯 New platforms: integrated Front Office solutions, such as StarQube’s Research and Portfolio Construction platform, greatly accelerate the implementation and backtesting of an investment strategy, and facilitate its day-to-day management and rebalancing. ⚡ The time to market of an ETF is now much shorter. Get in touch if you are curious about how StarQube can help you in this domain!

It’s a fact! The amount of data that Asset Managers need to manage to run their operations is steadily increasing. It’s a constant topic of discussion with our clients and prospects. ESG investing, AI use cases… These are data-hungry subjects! At StarQube, we provide our clients with a NoSQL database. And guess what? We have compared its performance with that of a PostgreSQL-type database. The key results: 💠  Your database would be 10x more compacted ⚡  You could query data 70x faster But that is not all. In terms of writing and calculating data, the performances are also astonishing. You could write 1 million data points in the blink of an eye (literally, in one second) and run calculations on the fly to create any augmented data. The icing on the cake, StarQube’s database is natively point-in-time, meaning all data, imported or created, is time-stamped to be able to retrace its history with an audit trail. The database is automatically fed, centralizing each of our clients’ data licenses and feeds (like open data, or other internal databases), and automates all the coherence and quality controls needed to make sure the database is always clean. You know, to avoid the famous saying “garbage in, garbage out” StarQube’s NoSQL database is what Asset Managers need to set up a scalable & future-proof Data Management foundation, and get prepared for the AI era.

Have you ever considered creating your own indices? Indexing has grown into a massive, profitable, and influential industry dominated by a few key players. What started as simple measures of financial markets have now become powerful tools shaping them. The "Big Three" of financial benchmarks are at the heart of this transformation. MSCI operates as a standalone public company, while S&P Dow Jones Indices and FTSE Russell are part of larger corporations, S&P Global and the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), respectively. The indexing business of these companies have generated $6.5 bn in revenues last year, with profit margins in the 60-70 % range. That is almost three times Apple’s margins! One of the main revenue sources comes from licensing indices out as benchmarks for investment managers. Are you ready to capture a piece of those profits? #Innovation #Index #Fintech
