Strategic Insights

German fund manager, Catana Capital, decided to launch a hedge fund solely based on Big Data analysis. The idea is to process massive datasets using artificial intelligence algorithms and make investment decisions according to independent signals. Catana Capital is pursuing a four-step strategy.

Schroders pointed out that a Data Insights team, which was set up in 2015, could become the company’s key differentiator. The team’s goal is to complement fund managers and analysts in their research, find actionable alternative datasets and extract the hidden information.
