W&F Issue 2 2018

Wealth & Finance International - Issue 2 2018 29 “...our capabilities can be delivered as a standalone tech platform, as an extension of a client’s in-house team, or as a strategic partner to optimise operations.” An example of this, are models that predict future trends in asset prices by correlating the current price action with historical data.” Contributing to the firm’s extensive success is its ability to position itself for future developments within the market. Guido is keen to point out that the company has always been a first mover in terms of investment and risk management, and this forward-thinking nature helps the firm stay ahead of any potential advances. “We acknowledge the accelerating technology led disruption and believe that it is only going to intensify over time. In fact, not being able to embrace the latest technology, will be a significant disadvantage for any market player. In this regard, we are fast followers, always analysing the market’s response to new ideas and quick to adopt when we sense an opportunity. “Finally, our delivery model, which combines man with machine, enables us to efficiently refine our offering on a continuous basis. We focus not only on delivering the tools to solve a problem, but also participate in addressing specific problems, client by client. By blending services with technology, we stay abreast of a wide range of client specific applications and evolving client needs. This positions us well to deal with competition.” Ultimately, the future is exciting for B&B Analytics, and there are a couple of exciting projects in the pipeline. Guido signs off by hinting at future projects which will potentially move the firm forwards, as well as possible expansion in certain areas. “Moving forward, there are a couple of exciting projects in the pipeline. Currently, we are working on expanding our research and risk management framework by including cryptocurrencies and digital assets as a separate asset class. This will help us create investable portfolios of these assets, or help clients risk manage their existing crypto holdings better. Lastly, we are working to scale our research offering, by taking it to larger audiences through digital channels.” Company: B&B Analytics Contact: Guido Buehler Address: Hinterbergstrasse 20, Cham, 6330, Switzerland Phone: +41 41 711 21 21 Website: www.bbanalytics.biz Navigating Towards Financial Equilibrium
