Inalytics launches 130/30 analysis

Inalytics, the specialist manager evaluation company, has started a service analysing the skills of fund managers operating 130/30 funds.

By using quantitative forensic analysis and behavioural finance, Inalytics will identify 130/30 managers that add value by verifying that short positions generate returns.

The service will analyse every decision a manager takes when buying and selling in order to appraise skills. It will look at portfolio positions to see how, where and why alpha is generated or lost.

“We will look at decisions fund managers take to build an understanding into why managers and their investment decisions generate or lose alpha,” said Rick Di Mascio, CEO and founder of Inalytics.

The service will be offered to pension funds and asset management companies.
