Working with investment banks, hedge funds, service providers, consultants as well as asset and wealth managers to draw a comprehensive financial picture, AltX discovered that users often lack well-designed products that deliver a high-end user interface and experience. “Our platform is designed to deliver newly-found consumable information to the user, intuitively, and at a much quicker pace, enabling them to understand the entire ecosystem better,” mentions Hocking. Several hedge funds clients use this information and consistent datasets to conduct peer analyses, rankings, and reviews to generally understand their compatibly in an unconcealed way.
Hocking has been identifying the individual components that would comprise the AltX platform for many years; he first observed multiple inefficiencies in an often-antiquated capital allocation process that is common across the industry while running the Prime Brokerage business at two of the world’s largest banks. Hocking knew there had to be a way to integrate technology into the process and evolve the hedge fund marketplace. The goal was to find a better way for investors to discover funds that fit their performance needs and today the company is doing just that. “AltX has evolved the off-line approach to one that embraces the industrial revolution happening in the financial industry. Our differentiation lies in our ability to augment human decision making and expertise with big data and technology."
