What we do

With the use of Artificial Intelligence, we synthesize the molecule of Alternative Data to anticipate investment trends and to enhance Asset Management, Wealth Management, Traders, ESG Management, Credit & Risk Management and Investor Relations.

We gather digital contents from social and e-commerce platforms, blogs, maps, etc. (in English and in Italian).

We then analyze, filter, interpret and weigh them. We turn them into figures and time series with our proprietary Machine Learning algorithms (e.g. topic modeling, entity recognition, influencer clustering-and-evaluation algorithms).

Hence, the Alternative Data present in our data lake – treated as mentioned above – becomes the raw material for supplying our clients with two types of solutions:

Information solutions, consisting of indexes and monitoring systems, “alternative” signals and scorings which may refer to individual enterprises, top management, products and/or even to specific topics (e.g. Brexit, spread, ESG)
Operational solutions, comprising investment models, strategies and portfolios that result from the Quantamental combination of both Alternative Data and traditional data (e.g. Stock Exchange data, financial reports and quarterly balance sheet, open data).

Our technological infrastructure is thoroughly cloud-based; this makes it all extremely flexible and readily scalable.

Extract strong and weak signals, both regarding companies and specific topics enhancing financial decisions (long term alpha generation).

Build Alternative Investment Indexes from a Smart Beta perspective, redefining traditional taxonomy.

Elaborate Portfolio Management models and Investment Strategies on different financial assets, leveraging both alternative and financial data.

After 10 years as a software developer and then as data engineer, now my main focus is on the FinScience architecture. Sunday runner, couch potato, I spend my spare time between reading and retrogaming.

FinScience has got the interest of investors with remarkable financial backgrounds and longterm experiences with big data, who are ready to boost its international growth.
