News in Brief
US quant house, Theoriem LLC, selects Xenomorph
Theoriem LLC, a Philadelphia-based multi-asset quantitative trading firm, has implemented Xenomorph's TimeScape data and analytics management platform to support its trading model. TimeScape was selected as it is both user-friendly and flexible. It can handle large volumes of tick data and integrate proprietary models and analytics with ease, ensuring that analysis is swift and can be managed with very little technical know-how.
"There are so few technologies that can keep pace with a user's imagination, and TimeScape from Xenomorph allows us to manage and manipulate data without limitation.”
Paul Roland, Managing Principal,
Theoriem LLC
The Liquidity Risk Management debate gathers momentum
As the deadline for Liquidity Risk Management changes looms closer, more institutions are joining the JWG-IT workgroup to exchange views and further understanding on the new infrastructure change requirements.
The recent Liquidity Risk Management survey undertaken by JWG-IT affirmed our belief that meeting liquidity data requirements will be one of the biggest challenges for financial institutions over the next 12 months.
Read the JWG-IT press release about the survey results or click here to find out more about LiRAN, the Liquidity Risk Action Network.
Xenomorph in the News
Aside from the coverage of Xenomorph's recent client wins in North America and write-ups of interviews with senior management, we have participated in several thought provoking roundtables exploring the topical themes of managing risk, the importance of data and the impact of derivatives on reference data management.
