IHS Markit partners with CloudAttribution to deliver best-in-class performance attribution through thinkFolio
19 May 2021
We have formed a strategic alliance with CloudAttribution to
integrate their best-in-class performance attribution capabilities
into our thinkFolio
investment management platform, as part of our strategy of
increasing flexibility, interoperability and delivering further
analytics insights to address the evolving needs of the front
office.
The partnership brings together thinkFolio's multi-asset
decision support suite and CloudAttribution's cloud-native,
performance attribution models and technology for fixed-income and
multi-asset portfolio management. The integration will enable
mutual clients of thinkFolio and CloudAttribution to bring
performance attribution to their desktops and to flexibly evaluate
portfolio performance for a variety of cross-asset institutional
investment strategies, including ESG.
CloudAttribution's mission is to make life easier for portfolio
managers and performance teams through streamlined data handling
and to provide clear and more straightforward attribution models.
The partnership follows the announcement in December that leading
portfolio and risk analytics capabilities are being integrated with
thinkFolio as well. As a result of extending our suite of
interoperable partnerships in these domains, mutual clients have
the option of leveraging end-to-end analytical insights within
thinkFolio - from portfolio construction and pre-trade risk
analytics to post-trade performance attribution.
"The CloudAttribution partnership brings an innovative
performance attribution approach to the thinkFolio solution
ecosystem," said Brett Schechterman, Global Head of thinkFolio at
IHS Markit. "thinkFolio clients can now apply a flexible post-trade
lens to unlock insights as to which levers within their decision
framework impacted active returns. Through our partnerships with
CloudAttribution and leading risk management providers, we are
pleased provide access to analytics that span the investment
lifecycle, and to increase the options available to portfolio
managers and other key stakeholders across the enterprise."
"As a company that has focused on fixed-income and multi-asset
requirements from day one, we are excited to bring our performance
attribution modelling and approach to a wider group of
fixed-income, multi-asset and equity managers through thinkFolio,"
said Peter Simmons, CEO and Founder of CloudAttribution. "Together,
CloudAttribution and thinkFolio are empowering the front office
with an investment management platform that supports the unique
attribution requirements of multi-asset and fixed-income investment
strategies."
