Fintech Aims To 'Atomise' Research - Markets Media

Fintech Limeglass has launched to'atomise' research by using technology to tag reports in real-time so that they can be easily and quickly searched by the recipient at a granular level. Rowland Park, chief executive and co-founder of Limeglass, said in a report this week that the research market needs innovation as the majority of reports are still being consumed by the buy side as multiple page PDF and HTML documents sent by email, despite advances in technology. Park has more than 30 years' experience in the research industry and founded and grew start-ups IDEA Global and 4CAST, which focused on macroeconomics, policy and financial markets intelligence. Park wrote in the report that financial decision making rests on a three-legged stool – market data; breaking news; and research, which provides wider context for decision making. "The development of tools to better handle market data and breaking news have transformed, and continue to transform, the way activity in the financial markets is conducted," he added.
