ZUG, Switzerland and NEW YORK - Company to Leverage Real-time, On-Demand Quotes for Anytime, Anywhere Access to Market Data for Fund Managers and Increased Transparency for Investors
CarryQuote, A.G. (www.carryquote.com/), a pioneer in integrated desktop and mobile financial information solutions, and Rho Asset Management, A.G. (www.rhoam.ch/ )(”Rho”), a Swiss-based Commodity Trading Advisor, today announced Rho’s implementation of CarryQuote’s Mobile Market Scanner(TM) solution. The companies officially made the announcement at the 2009 GAIM International conference in Monaco.
Mobile Market Scanner (www.mobilemarketscanner.com/) provides fund managers with an affordable, integrated desktop and mobile solution for accessing real-time, on-demand price quotes. Officially launched in February 2009, the solution offers a new model for consuming market data — real-time, on-demand snapshots. By providing real-time market snapshots from more than 70 global data sources only when a user needs them, Mobile Market Scanner delivers the high quality financial market information users need at a fraction of the cost of other market data providers. Mobile Market Scanner also enables Rho to enhance its communication with investors by providing greater transparency to the fund’s NAV. Rho’s investors will be able to track NAV on a daily basis using the Rho-branded web and mobile applications.
“The Mobile Market Scanner, not only allows our investors easy access to global market data — but also allow us to be true to our mission of providing our investors with a unique level of transparency and access to our fund’s NAV at any time,” said Christen Oesterbye, COO of Rho Asset Management. “We’ve also found good value in white labeling Mobile Market Scanner. By making it available to our clients, we hope to strengthen our client relationships through increased communication and accessibility.”
“We are pleased that Rho has joined a growing list of global hedge funds that are leveraging Mobile Market Scanner to realize cost savings, improve efficiency related to technical analysis and increase transparency for investors,” said Michael Stennicke, CEO and Co-founder of CarryQuote. “Rho selected our solution based on its measurable benefits — including its personalized alerts that empower fund managers to actively monitor and analyze the global markets, even while away from a workstation.”
