Centralize your investment process

The EDS platform has created a world where fundamental investors can leverage technology to improve the probability of success. Workflows become more consistent and transparent. Teams are more productive. You have a feedback loop, so you know what “high conviction” means and you are continuously improving the investment process.

Institutionalize your most precious assets

EDS was originally built inside of multiple funds to scale their investment process and teams. Today, these advantages are available to all investors without the complexity/cost of competitive solutions – and we prove this unmatchable value upfront, before any commitment. From aggregating your intelligence and optimizing workflows, through to constructing the optimal portfolio, and managing risk, no other solution provides this depth of functionality or configurability to your specific requirements.

CENTRALIZED PLATFORM

Get critical intelligence out of non-scalable, and error-prone excel spreadsheets, off of analysts hard drives (and heads) and into a secure platform

What is it?

A modular platform that supports the entire investment life cycle, including Idea Generation, Research Management (RMS), Portfolio Construction and Risk Management. These are typically siloed and/or fragmented solutions.

What are the benefits?

  • Optimal use of all data that is part of the investment process: internal data, such as models/ranks, notes, as well as external data, including fundamental, research, alternative data, in one platform.
  • Centralization creates a research process that is leveraged by the entire investment team, and provides an optimal learning environment for succession planning.
  • Creates a strong compliance system and importantly, internal information stays in-house.
  • The underlying technology has advanced, such that it is quick to implement, flexible and meets any budget.

What are the risks of not having a centralized platform?

  • Unable to scale effectively – ad-hoc method of driving continuous improvements throughout the entire firm.
  • Investments being made with incomplete data or information.
  • Weak compliance monitoring and Intellectual Property leakage.
  • Fragmented and siloed investment team – working on disparate systems, processes and datasets.

INTELLIGENT DATABASE
(non-biased feedback loop)

What was changed, who changed it, what was the result, what did we learn, and do we change anything?

What is it?

The ability to maintain a history of point-in-time data, both qualitative and quantitative.

What are the benefits​?

  • Ensures repeatability of your process: a scalable system that monitors/tracks inputs and decision-making relative to historical behavior (what did we know, how did we react, what was the result, how do we adapt).
  • Maximize/monitor team performance and alpha (ex. who can we count on, who do we need to help).
  • A tier-one investor/compliance process to answer questions with confidence (why did you make investment, increase/decrease your positions.

What are the risks of not having a measurable feedback loop?

  • Higher risk of repeating past mistakes or missing consistent successes.
  • A poor learning environment and a higher risk of failure for existing and new employees.
  • Sub-optimal monitoring of portfolio & investment team.
  • Non-competitive tools for your investment team.
  • Increased compliance risk.
  • Sub-optimal investor program: time-consuming projects to answer investor questions of the how’s, why’s and repeatability of the investment process.

Our Products

Well-integrated workflows to improve the entire investment lifecycle across the investment, trading, data and operations teams.

IDEA GENERATION

Make the most of the intelligence you access – aggregate, analyze & rank in one platform. Fully configurable. Replace excel workflows with a scalable solution.

PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION

The ideal portfolio is more than the sum of your ideas – it is also matching your best ideas to your biggest positions and identifying/taking advantage of opportunities when they present themselves.

RESEARCH MANAGEMENT (RMS)

All the information is disconnected – created in static applications (word, outlook, evernote, excel) & stored in multiple locations. EDS solves this challenge, by bringing your research process and everything that supports it to a centralized and intelligent platform.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Today’s platforms are inflexible and siloed. EDS breaks free of the traditional mold to provide true integration – a “best-in-class” platform that all members of the team can use to discover hidden risks & opportunities.

Leading Providers and Funds rely on EDS​

Our partners include Northern Trust, Factset and MSCI. Our customers include leading Hedge Funds and Asset Managers, including marquee Tiger Cubs, Citadel Spins, Point72 Alums, as well as Former Maverick, Viking and Bernstein Teams. All are available as references.
