Case Study: A Europe-based quantitative investment firm discovers faster data insights with S&P Global Marketplace Workbench

An Investment Manager Discovers an Efficient Way to Identify Valuable Data

S&P Global worked with a Europe-based quantitative investment firm whose research team needed a faster way to identify valuable datasets for new investment ideas. The team wanted easier access to a wide range of financials, estimates, and event data, plus a web-based notebook environment with support for multiple programming languages and strong visualization tools to make exploratory analysis more efficient.

Using S&P Global Marketplace Workbench, the research team explored S&P Global’s datasets in a secure cloud environment with pre-built notebooks, live code, and collaborative features. S&P Global helped them quickly assess dataset relevance, avoid managing an on-premise database, and visualize findings for portfolio managers; the case study does not provide hard financial metrics, but it reports that the team was able to perform due diligence faster and better understand the value of the data before subscribing.
