Two main pillars

StarQube offers a disruptive and unique solution combining Data Management and Portfolio Construction & Management capabilities. Therefore, our modular solution is structured around two main pillars.
Data management

StarQube’s Data Management solution integrates a scalable centralized database and a unified referential. Its purpose is to encapsulate all the data – financial or non-financial (eg. ESG) – needed for the investment decision process as well as the investment universe (from IBORs or Custodians) and the Research universe.

  • Data Collection:

    Integrate and combine all your financial and non-financial data through our pre-built connectors regardless its source (third party providers, internal databases, position keeping systems, custodians or the web) and its format in a centralized database.

  • Data Quality Enhancement:

    Improve data trustworthiness by setting up as many cleansing and coherence steps. Data is written in the database only once it has met all the quality checks.

  • Data Time-stamping:

    Establish an audit trail by time-stamping data when imported in the “point-in-time” database.

  • Data Customization:

    Transform raw data into any proprietary indicators, whether this is a proprietary ESG score, an investment signal or a regulatory indicator thanks to StarQube’s native low-code language.

  • Data Mastering:

    Navigate between datasets easily thanks to StarQube’s data model which grants a unique identifier to each issuer and instrument across all data sets. Relationships between instruments and issuers, as well as between subsidiaries and parent companies are automated to ensure a natural mapping.

  • Data Sharing:

    Easily access and operate data for any business need, whether for investment, research, risk modeling or reporting purposes thanks to StarQube’s openness.

Business Outputs

Operational efficiency

Operational efficiency

Day-to-day tasks related to data updates are fully automated. Any interruption of the data loading process, e.g. quality check breach, is immediately notified and can be easily resolved.

Performance

Performance

Any process run in the database, to enrich missing datasets or create any augmented data (e.g. ESG methodologies), is executed instantly.

Governance

Governance

Ensure data is accurate, hosted in a centralized database and available and usable by the business teams securely thanks to a permission workflow.

Agility

Agility

Whether for a regulatory requirement or a business need, any new (financial or non-financial) data source can be integrated quickly.

Independence

Independence

Power to the users. The integration of a new data source or the addition of a new indicator can be done directly by the users of the platform, without the intervention of IT teams.

Fast Implementation

Fast Implementation

Thanks to the StarQube team’s expertise and our pre-built connectors, the implementation process is smooth and short (between 3 and 4 months on average).

PCMS

StarQube’s Portfolio Construction & Management modules aim at granting users with augmented portfolio management capabilities, so they can conduct research, test investment ideas and instantly implement them in their portfolios.

  • Visualization and Analysis:

    Visualize portfolios with full look-through capabilities from a single cockpit while tracking all the relevant information thanks to StarQube’s customizable dashboards and widgets. Analyze portfolio positions along internally designed scores, models and strategies.

  • Backtesting:

    Minimize time-to-market from idea generation to implementation thanks to StarQube’s blazingly fast Backtester. StarQube’s database is natively point-in-time in order to avoid common pitfalls such as look-ahead biases.

  • Portfolio Optimization:

    Parameterize easily and granularly your objectives & constraints to make sure any investment idea can be integrated in the optimization workflow.

  • Portfolio Rebalancing:

    Rebalance portfolios individually or in mass in a matter of seconds. Rebalancing targets can either be model portfolios, market indices or ad-hoc benchmarks created within StarQube.

  • Risk modeling:

    Break down the risk of your portfolios according to your favoured (historical, exposure factors and/or PCA) factors. Analyze portfolios from different angles combining various risk setups & methods.
