IHS Markit has formed a strategic alliance with CloudAttribution to integrate their performance attribution capabilities into the thinkFolio investment management platform.
The partnership complements thinkFolio's strategy of increasing flexibility, interoperability and delivering further analytics insights to address the evolving needs of the front office.
According to IHS Markit, it brings together thinkFolio's multi-asset decision support suite and CloudAttribution's cloud-native, performance attribution models and technology for fixed-income and multi-asset portfolio management.
Meanwhile, the integration will enable mutual clients of thinkFolio and CloudAttribution to bring performance attribution to their desktops and to flexibly evaluate portfolio performance for a variety of cross-asset institutional investment strategies.
CloudAttribution says its mission is to make life easier for portfolio managers and performance teams through streamlined data handling and to provide clear and more straightforward attribution models.
Brett Schechterman, global head of thinkFolio at IHS Markit, comments: "thinkFolio clients can now apply a flexible post-trade lens to unlock insights as to which levers within their decision framework impacted active returns.”
He continues: “Through our partnerships with CloudAttribution and leading risk management providers, we are pleased to provide access to analytics that span the investment lifecycle, and to increase the options available to portfolio managers and other key stakeholders across the enterprise."
Peter Simmons, CEO and Founder of CloudAttribution, adds: "Together, CloudAttribution and thinkFolio are empowering the front office with an investment management platform that supports the unique attribution requirements of multi-asset and fixed-income investment strategies."
