The Quantitative Services Group LLC (QSG) Announces the Release of Virtual Research Analyst® 3.0


NAPERVILLE, Ill., Dec. 20 - The Quantitative Services Group (QSG) announces a significant product upgrade with the release of Virtual Research Analyst(R) 3.0. This powerful web-based stock selection and analysis tool provides institutional investors a unique platform to manage custom investment models. The software allows active equity managers to efficiently integrate the signals of their favorite stock selection indicators and easily identify the top investment candidates. The VRA's analytics are tailored to each client's own style and analysis goals. QSG's experienced analyst team translates a client's investment requirements into an exclusive stock selection model.

The VRA 3.0 software allows managers to further compress decision timeframes. Models run daily, so investment decisions can keep pace with the dynamics of the market. Twenty years of monthly historical data on a model and its subcomponents are integrated into the system. VRA clients can perform monthly analysis and attribution of their custom model and all of its underlying factors. This upgrade also allows licensed clients to now leverage a powerful, visually intuitive, sell indicator model. "This upgrade delivers specific advantages to our entire client base; from our more traditional stock-pickers that are looking for an information edge to some of the most sophisticated quantitative managers in the country," said Tim Sargent, QSG's President.

Version 3.0 features new visualization tools that analyze price trends, stock rank trends and sub-industry rank trends along with an enhanced color- coded dynamic matrix view. This matrix view better integrates a client's portfolio holdings and provides enhanced drill-down functionality. In addition, new filtering techniques allow managers to quickly identify stocks with rapidly improving ranks over a user-defined period. "The latest VRA enhancements are a further testimony to QSG's motto of informed simplicity. Clients are now armed with sophisticated tools that make their investment decision-making process easier. We deliver the transparency that clients are looking for from a custom stock selection model," said Bola Olusanya, Manager of the VRA service.

The dedicated analysts that support the VRA service leverage QSG's 300+ library of popular stocks selection indicators. QSG pursues an aggressive R&D process that continually enhances the value proposition to its institutional investment clients. The speedy implementation of the VRA's enhancements is accomplished through QSG's Integrated Research Hub(R), a proprietary software development platform. The IRH dramatically reduces the cost and complication of building custom financial applications.
