Case Study: American Century Investments achieves a scalable investment analytics platform with Revolution Analytics

American Century Investments Revolutionizes their Investment Analytics Platform

American Century Investments, a large privately owned investment management firm, needed to unify several disconnected analytics tools under one framework so its Quantitative Equity Group could use more data sources and move new statistical research into production. The team also needed a secure, production-ready way to support researchers, portfolio managers, and reporting users with different technical skill levels.

Revolution Analytics implemented Revolution R Enterprise, along with the rACI package, to create an end-to-end quantitative investment platform that integrated data sources, portfolio optimization, and visualization tools like Axioma and Tableau. With Revolution Analytics, American Century Investments gained a scalable open analytics framework, faster model development and deployment, and simulations reported to run 20 times faster than base R, helping speed research turnaround and improve production efficiency.
