SimCorp has introduced the Axioma Factor Library Suite to aggregate fundamental, technical and macroeconomic factors into a single data resource for asset managers and hedge funds, among other users.
The library includes exposures for 50,000 securities across 90 countries with historical data dating back to 1997. Users can access the data through the Axioma Risk Model Machine or via the Snowflake platform to integrate research into existing investment pipelines.
Ian Lumb, head of analytics product management at the financial technology provider said the suite provides proprietary factor research to give clients a broader universe of signals for investment strategies.
“By offering access via Snowflake, we enable seamless integration into client workflows and automation, allowing them to easily incorporate our research into existing investment processes and confidently design strategies that reflect their unique investment identity,” Lumb said.
Factor libraries allow quantitative managers to test hypotheses and build bespoke risk models by combining equity styles with macroeconomic drivers.
SimCorp also announced that it had appointed Debbie Townley as chief people officer to manage its workforce and culture strategy.
Townley previously spent 18 years in human resources roles at BlackRock, Brooks MacDonald and GAM Investments, where she also served as chief people officer.
Based in London, Townley reports to chief executive Peter Sanderson.
