We're looking for pilot clients, preferably hedge funds or managed account holders trading in equities, bonds, or derivatives, for our Local Outlier Factor engine; details 👇 The LOF engine offers 'unsupervised' anomaly detection in liquid markets. It is based on a statistical method that analyzes large datasets without pre-set patterns, aiming to detect underutilized insights that the manager was unaware of, hence early flagging an opportunity or risk. Examples can be uncovering irregular price movements in micro-cap equities within niche sectors before they gain broader market attention, or identifying discrepancies in municipal bonds yields that suggest under-the-radar fiscal changes. The test client can use the engine free of charge but is expected to provide their own data.
