VANDA DATA

One frame for positioning across global markets.

Cross-asset positioning and flow intelligence for tactical risk decisions.

VandaXasset brings institutional positioning and flow indicators across equities, fixed income, FX and commodities into a consistent analytical framework. It helps investors compare crowding across markets, identify positioning extremes and understand where existing exposure could amplify the next move.


Every asset class on one percentile scale.

A stretched reading in rates and a stretched reading in equities sit in the same grid, read the same way, ranked against each other without translating between market conventions.

Compare positioning across asset classes.

A stretched position in rates should be as easy to interpret as a stretched position in equities. VandaXasset normalizes positioning indicators against their own history so clients can compare where markets sit, how quickly positions are changing and where crowding is becoming unusual.

  • Positioning

    Understand how speculative and institutional investor groups are positioned across global markets.

  • Flows

    Track the movement underneath the level: where exposure is being added, reduced or rotated.

  • Crowding

    Identify where a consensus position is becoming stretched and the position itself may be creating risk.

  • Cross-asset context

    Compare signals across equities, rates, FX and commodities to identify connected trades and common risk exposures.

  • A broad library of proprietary indicators.

    VandaXasset includes more than 1,200 positioning and flow time series, including proprietary combined indicators that consolidate multiple investor-flow inputs into a single view. Coverage spans the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific, with historical series extending back to January 2010.

  • From idea generation to the risk meeting.

    Use VandaXasset to screen for crowded trades, test whether positioning supports a market narrative, identify potential contrarian setups and bring a consistent positioning framework into portfolio and risk discussions.
