OPTICS, a decision-support platform for investment professionals, based on advanced cloud technology and a real-worl approach to investment, has officially launched.
The system enables users to prepart for and actively manage risk across an unlimited range of market scenarios.
OPTICS was created by a team of Jersey-based digital and financial professionals. It is distinguished from other investment software by generating system and user-defined scenarios which are based on how assets and portfolios actually behave in different market conditions.
This allows users to test their portfolios across a range of plausible market scenarios, so they can identify assets which are true diversifiers in any market environment.
OPTICS was developed in the C5 FinTech Lab, an incubator for local FinTech businesses and entrepreneurs run by the C5 Alliance, a Channel Islands provider of technology services.
Mark Loane, CEO of C5 Alliance, commented: "I’m delighted to see the launch of OPTICS. This project has been a real meeting of minds from the digital and financial sectors, and is an exciting step forward for the island’s fintech sector. C5 is proud to have supported the project, providing financial and professional support through our new FinTech lab, to transform this brilliant idea into real, commercial software which promises to be a game-changer for the investment world."
