Prediction Dynamics launches hedge fund modelling platform
Prediction Dynamics, the Dublin-based trading and risk management software vendor, launched its Crucible1.0 financial time-series modelling platform today at the Seventh European Conference on Hedge Fund Investments, in Geneva, Switzerland.
The financial prediction infrastructure has applications in systematic trading, active risk management and quantitative research, which can be used to build and maintain a large number of predictive models across a variety of financial markets and asset classes.
“The beta programme which started at the beginning of November last year has been completed, and now Crucible is live in two global banks and a hedge fund,” said John Carney, chief technology officer at Prediction Dynamics. “Three new clients – two hedge funds and another international bank – are due to roll out the application in the next few weeks.”
The core engines for building and analysing non-parametric multifactor models – FactorEngine and ModelEngine – are based on patent-pending technologies developed in-house.
FactorEngine enables clients to analyse and identify optimal factor sets that drive a market, while ModelEngine allows users to create non-parametric predictive models based on the factors defined by the FactorEngine. The multifactor models can be built with any number of relevant input factors.
Ease of implementation, so often a crucial factor when a new financial product is launched, is one of Crucible’s strengths. “Clients are usually up and running within a month,” claimed Carney. “One client, an options trading desk that wanted the software to predict implied volatility rolled out the application even quicker.”
