Quant Insight (Qi), a macro analytics provider for institutional investors, has rolled out RETINA 2.0, which includes major updates, new features, and improved functionality.

Qi’s RETINA (Real Time Notifications and Alerts) uses data science and analytics to process and distill macro and market information to identify key shifts under the surface of global financial markets, covering 5,000-plus instruments across all asset classes. Key signals are then pushed into clients’ workflows in real time via the Symphony and Slack messaging platforms. 
 
RETINA is fully customisable, and users can set it to monitor whatever they want to track. Notifications cover important shifts in macro factors including Nowcasting (real GDP across 20 countries), inflation expectations, financial conditions and more, as well as alerts on misalignments and mispricings. Users can also set the number of signals they want to receive, whether that is a stream of ideas, or just a handful of extremely robust, high-conviction data driven insights. 
  
Each signal has a “signal strength” indication – a level of confidence in each individual idea. New metrics encompassing historical back tests, the profile of macro-warranted fair value plus a trend and momentum overlay help determine which signals present the highest probabilities.
