In today's competitive environment, whether you are a hedge fund, a money manager, a mutual fund company, or an investment bank you must understand the impact of other market players on your investments.
To achieve this goal you need easy access to an accurate database of institutional and mutual fund holdings. For instance, you may want to be able to evaluate the overlap between one of your funds and that of key competitors. Or you may want to understand which positions institutional managers increased or decreased by sector and securities in order to tune your own strategies.
Accessing accurate and up-to-date information is critical, but not sufficient. To truly make an impact, you must able to integrate this information seamlessly into your existing applications and processes. For instance, you may need to have key decision makers instantly notified when new information is available. Or you may need to be able to feed holdings information directly into your quantitative models without doing much programming.
Leading investment companies are harnessing new technologies like web services and Web 2.0 to empower their employees with the right information and automate business processes. Accomplishing those objectives without using Web 2.0 technology is challenging:
- Complex Integration. Legacy technologies make integration complex, expensive and cumbersome, thereby limiting opportunities for process integration and streamlining.
- Expensive Infrastructure. Old-school approaches also require you to host--at great expense--significant amount of data that is instantly stale and which you may never use.
- Siloed Data. Traditional licensing forces and technologies make it slow and difficult to access and re-use information you already have in other parts of your firm.
