"Prior to Cyclone, investment managers had very few choices for a robust analytics system. Most are cumbersome and difficult to use, some are converted data providers or brokers, all are very expensive, and none have the comprehensive modeling capabilities of the Cyclone platform," said Nicholas Donohoe, CFA, Cyclone's founder and CEO.
Cyclone focuses on three key areas of quantitative investment analytics: risk management, portfolio construction, and pre-trade analysis. The risk management modeling includes historical volatility, EWMA, Beta, and GARCH which can be used with any custom portfolio or benchmark. Cyclone is the first company to offer integrated portfolio GARCH modeling, a sophisticated risk forecasting tool. For portfolio construction, Cyclone utilizes a robust APT factor model and optimizer which can help investment managers identify strategies with the highest projected information ratio. Lastly, Cyclone's proprietary pre-trade analytic produces a transition management report detailing all the explicit, implicit, and risk costs of large institutional trade scenarios.
For investment advisors, consultants, and other client-facing professionals, Cyclone offers a custom-branded user interface. The application is optimized for desktop as well as tablet use and every page is presentation-ready, making it an ideal sales and marketing tool both in the office and on the road. Data coverage includes every equity asset traded on the NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, and OTC exchanges including ETFs. All the data is included and the time-series models feature more than 10 years of historical data.
Cyclone Analytics LLC designs innovative quantitative equity analytics. Its founder and CEO is published regularly on Seeking Alpha (http://seekingalpha.com/author/nicholas-donohoe) where he uses the Cyclone platform to explain quantitative investment themes.
