How Asset Allocators Use Vanda
Dig deeper into some of our most frequently asked questions.
Can I use Vanda to support our long-term allocation strategy?
How does Vanda support risk management for top-down allocators?
Vanda’s positioning and flow data can be fed into internal hedging strategies or FX overlays to fine-tune risk exposure across geographies or asset classes. It also helps validate internal signals, offering a second lens on systemic positioning risk and where the market might be vulnerable.
Is Vanda’s data easy to integrate into our existing investment models?
Yes. Asset allocators use VandaXasset data as a quantifiable input into asset-class or strategy-level investment scores. Positioning metrics can be weighted within multi-factor models or incorporated into allocation dashboards to inform and systematize decision-making.
What makes Vanda’s research valuable for strategic allocators?
Our research provides a high-conviction, independent view of market positioning that challenges groupthink and supports internal debate. It’s a useful sense check for CIOs and strategy teams to determine if market risk is broadly “on” or “off,” and whether investor sentiment is aligned or stretched.
Can Vanda help guide conversations with internal committees or external clients?
Absolutely. Vanda’s daily insights into market setup and flow dynamics help explain recent market moves and support allocation decisions with data-driven rationale. This can be especially helpful for preparing for investment committee meetings or communicating macro views to stakeholders.
