Liquidnet rolls out Investment Analytics business & product suite

By Megha Bhattacharya

Liquidnet recently announced the launch of its third business, Investment Analytics (IA). The new business combines AI, including machine learning and natural language processing for uncovering hidden insights within data and alerts users to key factors influencing their investments. The suite is comprised of four products, each customised to a specific audience including IA Trader, IA PM, IA RSRCHX and IA APIs.

“With the launch of the IA business and its product suite, we aim to democratize access to data science, AI and advanced analytics, in order to ensure that crucial information is available to investment firms of all sizes,” said Vicky Sanders, Global Head of Liquidnet’s Investment Analytics.

IA Trader will help equity traders to enhance their decision-making process at the point of trade by offering personalized pre- and intra-trade advanced analytics and alerts linked to their order pads and watchlists which require limited screen space. IA PM delivers curated, personalized and prioritized investment intelligence directly to investment teams. With its proprietary advanced search algorithm, IA RSRCHX supplies its users with over 4 million real-time, cloud-hosted, research reports from over 425 firms.

IA APIs meets the growing demand from institutions wanting to ingest unique data and analytics directly. In addition to our IA Trader data, a core component of our IA API offering is Liquidnet’s central bank and equity sentiment scoring which uses ML and NLP to quantify language patterns, providing previously unavailable quantitative signals.

“We are very excited to launch this new business which we believe will help meet client needs with the accelerated investment decision-making process and workflow efficiency for a wide range of organizations, and we remain focused on innovation and expanding beyond Liquidnet’s traditional client base to grow our global investment network.”
