Blog Golden Broker: Benchmarks and the Investment Process

The brilliant entry below is from the Portuguese Blog: Golden Broker, from a most honourable connection (...very personally speaking...)  Alexandre Mota. It is an appropriate reminder of the pitfalls for Investors and Asset Managers of relying to much on a Benchmark when making decisions about investment and asset allocation.

The growing influence and importance of Data Science to the Financial Sevices industry is hardly, if ever understated. Andrew Peddar explains the issues that Fund Management and Asset Management companies face in relation with the new disrupting technologies that are transforming the industry like Cloud services and Big Data Analytics. And the challenges are for the Asia Pacific region companies on the same level as they are on a global outlook.
